Chances are very high that you will not effect any major changes in your life until you have reached the, “Threshold of Tolerance.”

Only, on that faithful day, when you say, “That’s it. I’ve had enough. Something is going to change… and it’s going to change right now.” will you find the necessary courage and determination to “really” change things in your life…

As long as whatever it is that you are experiencing or living is still acceptable… you probably will not change… and chances are very high that even if you attempt a major change… it will be short lived and ineffective…

So, how do you precipitate that faithful “Threshold of Tolerance…???”

You do so by associating as much pain as possible to the condition that you want to change… and associate tons of pleasure to the conditions that you want to acquire, own and master…

Pain and pleasure are the ultimate guiding forces in all the decisions that we make… we can either learn to make those forces work for us… or against us…
