If you truly desire to make a positive change in your life – whether losing weight, giving up an unhealthy habit, or any other negative aspect of your life – the best way to guarantee success is to write down your goal and announce it publicly – as publicly as possible. Especially, those in your life who you highly value and respect – those who you might feel most affected if you did notchieve your goal.
Going public in the above fashion can be frightening to people because it means they must commit to and stick to their commitments. But that is the point. They must do this or risk being judged as a failure, being fickle, or being weak – negative connotations which tend to drive people to do everything in their power to avoid. Especially, when it involves people they highly value and respect.
So, if you truly desire to make a positive change in your life – and really mean it – write it down and go public with it.
The above are ideas I wanted to highlight and reflect on from a book I’m presently reading: “Influence – The Psychology of Persuasion” by Robert Cialdini. So, I wanted to share this in case it might be helpful.
