Jim Taylor explores how to harness the four forces that can control
our "life-inertia" and propel our lives in the direction of our OWN
choosing: values, self-esteem, ownership, and emotions. Many people
think of inertia as an object at rest will stay at rest unless a
force is exerted on it, like a boulder in a field. And people can
think of their lives in the same way: static and unmoving. But we
aren't "stuck" in one place, as so many express when they are
dissatisfied with their lives. Rather, our lives are moving swiftly
and inexorably along a path driven by powerful forces-both past and
present-that is highly resistant to a change in direction. As a
result, small forces, such as a modest insight or a brief "aha!"
moment, aren't enough to catalyze significant change in how we
think, what we feel, or how we act on or react to our world. In
fact, meaningful change can only occur when forces are applied that
are greater than the forces that are already propelling our lives.
Seeing our lives from this dynamic perspective is the foundation
for understanding what it takes to bring meaningful and
long-lasting positive change to our lives. Jim Taylor explores the
four forces (values, self-esteem, ownership, and emotions) that
propel our "life-inertia," which shows itself through the lens with
which we view the world, the emotional reactions we have, the
actions that we take, and the relationships that we create. He then
explains how to harness those to our own benefit, so that we may
steer our lives in the direction of our own choosing, rather than
allowing our past inertia or outside forces to dictate the
direction our lives take. By letting our values guide us, building
our self-esteem, taking ownership of our decisions and actions, and
using our emotions as positive fuel, we can break free from our
past inertia, take control of our lives, and chart a future of
meaning, happiness, success, and connection with confidence,
commitment, and courage.
