stick with what you know

When your stuck in a way of thinking and dealing - it is extremely hard to take a positive turn, and change your groove. However, it's not impossible and once you start it's generally smooth sailing. The rocky bit is admitting the changes need to be made, and turning the boat around. And when your sharing the wheel of the ship, and your both trying to turn the boat in separate directions, what is to come? This is by far the biggest struggle of turning your habits around, for when a wall has supports it's a lot harder to knock it down. When someone is {seemingly} unwilling to go with the ebb and flow of your changes, where do you go from there? I think finding yourself in the chaos of you interactions with everyone else (especially once you have kids, who take up about 90% of your brain) takes a lot of work.. and sometimes I have a hard time believing it is worth the effort. Now, don't get me wrong - I am the last person to conform.. but when your left in the mess of a change that is not changing.. it feels easier to just give in, and stick with what you know.
