Melting Away

“These little town blues are melting away.” So sings Frank Sinatra in the song New York, New York.

The song is more about new starts than it is about New York. But in order for new to begin, old has to melt away.

Sometimes the transition from old to new is abrupt and that can be painful. But when the past slowly, and systematically, drips away, the conversion is more permanent.

The area of weight loss is the prime example of how drastic changes rarely last. Many dieters go on a monastic diet, and are successful in rapidly losing weight. They are equally successful in gaining it back. Just monitor the long-term failure of any one of Oprah‘s diets to validate this for yourself.

Melting away the past has better odds of success and it takes longer than most people are willing to wait.

When an icicle melts, its drips methodically find their way down to the ground.

But we humans aren’t a very patient lot. The systems are in place for us to succeed, but our desire to make changes quicker than the system allows has us throw logic out the window.

The answer to “How do I speed up winter so it doesn’t last as long?” is easy: “Move to Florida.”

But if you're making a new start, it helps to begin slowly and build on your success at regular intervals. When you apply this method, you get to the dripping point much quicker. Then you'll have a snowball’s chance in Hell of succeeding.

All the best,

John
