Thought Tweet #982 When growth is stalled, many argue in favour of the status quo; fear of change often trumps common sense.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
This is not a horrible dysfunction, it's just an all-too-common bad habit.
Why would a person not want to take chances, make changes, and grow?
Perhaps we should first explore the extent of their Fear of Criticism and their Fear of Poverty...see Napoleon Hill's 1937 classic, 'Think and Grow Rich'.
Linked to Fear of Poverty - according to psychologists, we fear losing existing things more than we desire gaining new things. Fear of loss outstrips desire for gain by a factor of about 4-to-1.
Do you feel that way?
Do you favour the status quo over change?
