One medical doctor I read
about claims that, of all the patients who come to him saying they need help,
approximately 25 percent don't want to get well at all. Others just want
sympathy. Some don't even want to live. About 50 percent want the doctor to fix
them. They would rather he operate on their body, than they operate on their
lifestyle. Only 20 to 25 percent accept responsibility for their own recovery
and well-being.
When it comes to being overweight, for example, many of us say we want to weigh less than we do. However, most of us don't eat anything we don't want to eat. Thus we get confused between a wish and a want. Unless we have a biological problem, many of us wish we weighed less but don't want to badly enough to do what it takes to lose weight.
Only when we truly want to overcome our problems and be made whole—and accept responsibility to do what we need to do to make it happen—will we.
