A father's son asks why he always wears pants, sparking a question about what automatic habits reveal. Speaker A argues that surface changes are easy, but the beliefs driving your repeated actions are what actually need to shift if you want to change who you are.
Good morning everyone. Here is your moment of yes. Now recently, one of my sons asked my wife, why does dad always wear pants? That was you, wasn't it? And the reason being is because of the new work that I've been doing. I've, I've been wearing a lot of pants and so it kind of has required that I wear pants. But now I've got some great work shorts so I can wear those work shorts. The funny thing about that question is to me, Is that I have obviously sort of created a habit or a discipline or routine that he has noticed. And sometimes we're curious, why does he always look that way or show up that way or behave that way? That's what my moment of yes for today is. Ask yourself, why do I always blank this way? So whatever you fill in the blank, why do I always respond this way? Why do I always think this way? Why do I always wear pants? Ask yourself, why do you always respond this way to a certain situation? Odds are that there's a belief, a fear, a thought. There's something there that triggers that to be your response. So ask yourself, do you like that response? Do you like it when you respond that way? It's easy for me to go from pants to shorts, but for me to change a belief or change a fear, that can be a lot more difficult. But are you willing to look at the beliefs behind our actions and ask ourselves, is that really the way that I want to show up and respond? So that's the moment of yes for today.
