“I Can’t” versus “I Don’t Want To”
I can be stubborn at times, and I’m working to be more open to new ideas and to try to solve my problems creatively. And I think most people are stubborn as well, and lack the ability to creatively solve their problems.
I had a good example of this earlier in the week. My mother called and had some financial questions for me after she and my father saw their financial planner earlier this week. One thing I mentioned during the conversation was that they could move to a smaller house and perhaps fund part of their retirement that way. “But we love this house, and the kids enjoy it when they come to visit. We could never move.”
Check and mate. When you’re closed off to making changes you might as well just give up and let what happens happen. Action is required for change and improvement.
