If you want to be in charge of your life, you first need the awareness of such a capacity, and then the willingness to do something about it. Imagine yourself being asked to go on a hike but refusing because you are unwilling or, worse, you do not believe you can make it. You are capable of walking, the scenery is interesting and your destination is beautiful. You know that when you reach it, the reward will have made the hike worth it. Yet, you find excuses, postpone the trip, play for time. In the end, you give up the idea because you feel comfortable where you are, and dismiss any beneficial exercise. You “could” enjoy a lovely hike in good company, but you prefer to stay inside and watch TV. Outside the metaphor, you have the ability to create a more fulfilling life by operating a few changes in your habits and in your ways. Nevertheless, you often refuse to become aware of the benefits that await you, and choose to keep on wearing your old comfortable slippers instead of your walking shoes.
