Self-Consistency: Your Friend, Your Enemy Way back in the 20th century, 1945, in fact, Prescott Lecky came up with a theory. You need to know about it because it’s very, very powerful in its implications, and it’s never been refuted. What Prescott Lecky said was, he said, I’ve been thinking about it. I put it all together, and I’ve got a theory. It’s self-consistency theory. He said, I believe, and research was done that bore him out, that people, once they form a concept of who they are, they will fight to keep that self-consistency alive. So I talk about self-consistency as your enemy and your friend. If you’re keeping the positive aspects of your self-concept alive, great! If you’re keeping the negative self-concepts alive, it can be damaging. But people truly, he did the work, people truly would fight off positive changes in order to stay the same because it’s like, they know who that was. You know, I know who I am, and it’s important for me. It’s like everything else, all my other knowledge, is based on knowing who I am. And so people, literally, according to Prescott Lecky, would fight off, and they did, they resist changes that are positive if they are going to imply that I’m not the same person I used to be. This is something you need to know, and I will talk about it further in different videos because it has powerful implications. Imagine that a part of you that you feel you know so well is actually, literally, fighting change because it wants to maintain what you know about you. That’s the story. There are ways to get around it, but it’s important for you to know that self-consistency is extremely powerful, and you actually come up against it when you want to make transformational changes. Know that, and I’ll give you some other information that’s going to help you know how to deal with that and get around it.
