There are many times when you might feel internal friction, because you are in one place and you want to be in a different place. Or you might be one person and want to be different. Everybody has experienced this in their life at one point or another. Some people try and shut it down. They want this friction to go away, to leave, to die. What they don’t understand is this friction is the beginning of their process of changing. They should embrace this friction and guide it towards what they want.

Sometimes it is not easy to convey this in words, so I’ve drawn up some graphics to illustrate this concept.

The Current State

You are starting from somewhere. You currently have an internal state. This could be all of your current life or it could be just a small portion of your life. But you are somewhere, and you have a state which you want to change. There are many different ways to find out where you are at, and I won’t cover it here. Once you understand where you currently stand with your internal state you are ready to move forwards.

The Future State

Once you have your current internal state, you’ll need to develop a future state. This usually begins with an idea of who or what you want to come or change. It could be that you want to allow greater wealth to enter your life. Or you want to conquer your body and take it to the next level by running a marathon. Or it could be as simple as replacing your coffee habit with a tea habit.

Once you do have this new idea in your mind and on paper, this becomes your future state for this particular area of your life and you are ready to let internal friction move you towards this new future state.

The Internal Friction

Once you know what your current state is, and your develop your future state and hold the future state in your mind, by either reviewing it regularly, visualizing it or by other means, you will generate internal friction. This friction might not feel good, it might feel like your stuck or that it’s not you, but if you let this internal friction continue it will eventually take you from your current state to your future state.

This will happened because the mind will think that the future state that you are holding in your mind is actually the real state. It will think that that is who you are now, and it will move into the new state by triggering different actions, feelings and thoughts for you. Then your future state becomes your current state and you can start thinking about the next level.

After a while you’ll be able to use this internal friction to change any and all area of your life that you choose.
