"Why do I struggle to change when everyone around me does it so easily?" "Why is it so hard for me to stick with my workouts and so simple for others?" "Why can't I make changes like everyone else?"
These thoughts and the many others just like them strike to the heart of a myth that keeps millions from enjoying the health they desire. When the belief is that everyone around you changes with ease, any amount of struggle or setbacks can seem like proof that you don't have what it takes to succeed.
This belief couldn't be farther from the truth.
The reality is that change in any form involves short-term setbacks and struggles. You've established a powerful routine over the years, and changing this pattern is not an easy process for anyone. This might seem like negative news, but in fact it is just the advice you need to hear.
When you truly believe that change and occasional setbacks go hand in hand, you'll never again be thrown off course when one occurs. You won't see an obstacle or problem as proof of your inability to succeed.
Instead, you'll handle it with the wisdom of someone who understands how improvement truly functions. You'll know this is merely part of the game and work to solve the problems you face.
A short-term failure or struggle does not mean you'll never achieve the final result. It does not mean you will always struggle to gain ground. It is only a part of the changing process and proof that you are doing the right things and following the right path.

Based on the Law of Attraction, the overall premise of The Secret is simple: You can get what you truly feel about. It’s not just thinking about something; you need to envision the results exactly as you would like them to be—and then watch them happen. In this full-color companion to The Secret DVD, Rhonda Byrne discusses its role in the work of some of our most successful teachers including Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. All of them share stories of success ranging from eradicating disease and overcoming obstacles to acquiring wealth and achieving what most would consider the impossible.
