People have a natural resistance to changes. They do not like them. They want the "status quo", Latin expression that perhaps means "the mess we are already in". People resist changes for various reasons. To favor the necessary changes, the leaders find out what those reasons are, and face them. "Leadership with purpose" - Rick Warren
To achieve different results and get closer to your goals, you need to do different things. The habit of staying in routine cycles and comfort zones is a natural tendency of the mind. It is rather about starting the day knowing what new things I will do or do differently.
There may be carefully constructed institutions - political, religious, economic - but whatever the construction of these may be, unless our inward consciousness is in total order, inward disorder will always overcome the outer. We have seen this historically, it is happening now in front of our eyes. This is a fact. The turning point is in our consciousness.
