Who’s responsible for creating real change in your life?

But before you can change anything, you have to answer a deeper question:

Who are you?

In Change Your Mind. Create New Results, a powerful training developed by Neuro Change Solutions, we define YOU as your personality—the combination of:

• How you think,
• How you act, and
• How you feel.

These three elements shape how you experience life. They determine your personal reality.

Now here’s the part that catches most people off guard:

If 90% of your thoughts today are the same as yesterday’s—and if your actions and feelings don’t change—then you’re essentially living the same day, over and over.

So let’s say it clearly:

The you sitting here today—your current personality—has created the life you’re living right now.

And here’s the kicker:
If you want to create a new life, you can’t do it with the same mindset, habits, and emotions.
You must become someone new.
You have to change your personality to create a new personal reality.

But Most People Try to Change the Wrong Way

They set big goals, make big promises... but they try to do it as the same person they’ve always been.

It doesn’t work.

Real, lasting change starts from the inside out.

So let’s make this personal. I invite you to try this short reflection exercise:

1. Think of a time you successfully made a change in your life:
   1. How were you thinking, acting, and feeling at that time?
   2. What did you stop thinking, doing, or feeling to create that shift?
      
      
2. Now think of a time you tried to change, but couldn’t:
   1. How were you thinking, acting, and feeling?
   2. What got in your way? What obstacles kept you stuck?
      
      
3. Now compare the two experiences:
   1. What was the difference between success and failure?
   2. What did it cost you not to change?
   3. What was the payoff of staying the same?

When you finish this reflection, one truth becomes clear:
You already know how to change.
You’ve done it before. The real opportunity is learning how to change consistently, sustainably, and intentionally—for yourself, and others.

That’s exactly what Change Your Mind. Create New Results helps you do. Grounded in neuroscience, the program gives you the tools to apply what you already know—and equips you with fresh insights to unlock even more transformation.

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

With artificial intelligence reshaping industries at lightning speed, the ability to adapt, grow, and evolve is no longer optional.

As futurist Alvin Toffler wrote back in 1970:

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

So I’ll ask you:

Are you ready to become the version of yourself who creates the reality you truly want?

Change is possible—and it starts with you.

Can You Be Addicted to Your Emotions? When we hear the word addiction, most of us think of drugs, alcohol, gambling, or other harmful substances. But in Change Your Mind. Create New Results training, we explore a deeper, less obvious—and increasingly widespread—form of addiction: emotional addiction.

Yes, it’s possible to become addicted to emotions.

In next week’s blog, we’ll dive into this hidden but powerful force that shapes how we lead, how we relate, and how we limit ourselves. We'll explore how unchecked emotional addiction doesn’t just affect individuals—it silently damages relationships, teams, and entire organizations. Once you learn to recognize and shift these emotional patterns, you unlock the capacity to truly change your mind—and create new results.

Building an enduring great organization requires disciplined people, disciplined thought, disciplined action, superior results, producing a distinctive impact on the world.

Discipline sustains momentum, over a long period of time, laying the foundations for lasting endurance.
