			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s actually a much harder life if you don&#8217;t change the fears and false beliefs that are driving your unhappiness.</p>
<p>The most common comment of resistance that I hear while guiding people through the process to change their beliefs and emotional driven behaviors is:  &#8220;This is Hard.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a simple enough comment and we might easily accept it as true.    But here&#8217;s the trap.  It&#8217;s a lie that makes the changes you are attempting more difficult.</p>
<p>Yes it is difficult to change beliefs.  It is challenging.  However to say that it is hard, implies that doing nothing is easier.  And this is a lie.  It is actually harder to continue to live with the same false beliefs that are driving your unhappiness.</p>

<p>Some people say change is hard.  It&#8217;s one of those things that sounds true, but turns into a big lie.   Change is challenging,,, but not to change,,,, that is a really hard way to live.</p>
