"People don't change" I heard a stranger say as she complained about one of her friends flaking. 

It's a phrase I've heard people say more times than I can count.

But it's a phrase that is simply false.

It's a phrase that is often used to dismiss people or to refuse to engage with them.

To refuse to do the hard work of addressing weaknesses and flaws.

It's true that many people don't change. But that's because they refuse to change.

The reality is that, if willing,

People can change.

And they do change.

Often for the worst.

The kernel of truth that this phrase is trying to get at is that it can be HARD to change.

Especially to change for the BETTER.

In a way that LASTS.

Bringing about that kind of change is admittedly very difficult.

But it's not impossible.

It requires continuous action in the face of the temptation to fall back into old patterns.

It requires focused effort in the face of life's hypnotic rhythm.

But.

If you are able to stay the course, you will be rewarded with incredible riches.

I speak from experience here.

I was once an introvert who had not gone on a date for over a decade.

But now I'm a happily married man!

I was once an unsure grad student who did not think he could not offer anything practical.

But now I'm a philosopher AND a happiness coach making a difference helping people lead happier, more meaningful lives.

Again, this is not easy, for sure.

But it IS possible.

And it IS worth it.

AND it is made easier when you have the right kind of coach to help keep you accountable and stay the course.

Having the right kind of coach can help you cut through the bullshit and save yourself all kinds of frustration in implementation.

Having a coach is what helped me start seriously dating again.

And what convinced me to seriously start my own business.

I know how powerful and valuable the right coaching relationship can be.

That's why I offer my coaching services to people who are serious about making lasting positive changes in their life.

So, if you're ready to change (even if you've always failed before!), check it out:
