Comments on: Why You Must Change–and How to Overcome Resistance to Change http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/why-you-must-change-and-how-to-overcome-resistance-to-change/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:57:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Marc Abramson http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/why-you-must-change-and-how-to-overcome-resistance-to-change/#comment-9145 Marc Abramson Sat, 26 Dec 2009 09:39:12 +0000 http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/?p=6388#comment-9145 Happy Holidays, Harrison. Great advice, but I wanted to bring an inconsistency to your attention for what it's worth. The article contains what I expect is a substantive "typo" that is pretty confusing in the context of your narrative. In the 5th paragraph, you reference a "sparsely populated beach community in the middle of nowhere, about 45 (sic) miles outside of Atlanta." Then in a subsequent (7th) paragraph, you mention that "[t]here were no towns of more than 10,000 people or so for at least a few hours in any direction." Well, unless my geography and demographics are real rusty and even in that infamous Atlanta rush-hour traffic, if the town is just 45 miles outside Atlanta, it would clearly not be a few hours away from a city with a population of well more than 10,000 people. Perhaps you meant "450 miles" rather than "45 miles outside of Atlanta"? Again, thanks for the great advice. Happy Holidays, Harrison.

Some people may be content living in these type of towns, barely getting by, seeing the same thing/people day in and day out. If they are happy, then I'm happy for them. However, this is not the standard of life I want for myself, or my children. I would not necessarily call them "stupid." Some people are really content with the super simple things, the routine and the familiarity of small town living. However, the point of the article is that if this is not the sort of life you want for yourself, then you must change and stop making excuses and being defensive when someone tells you, hey, what you are doing does not work.

Even driving 45 mph, this puts this town 1 hr from Atlanta. Yet, in paragraph 7, you state "There were no towns of more than 10,000 people or so for at least a few hours in any direction." In the future, you may wish to spend time editing your articles before publishing them on the web.

I kept feeding my mind with limited beliefs. The turning point came when a friend asked about the book and I responded that I was suffering from analysis through paralysis. This gave me the drive to publish the book. Internal chatter almost stopped me from publishing my book. I kept feeding my mind with limited beliefs.
