The stories we continuously tell ourselves, about ourselves, form a seemingly stable self-image, giving rise to a false security AND inertia. "That's who I am" - is a mirage, a deluded attitude, the "autopilot" that flies our "momentum of our life." At some level we know that a solid self-concept is untenable because everything is obviously constantly changing, including our opinions and even our memory of past actual events.
We retain a heroic death-grip on our fossilized self-concept (ego) because few of us are adequately informed about the normal evolution of human consciousness, self-transcendence, hypo-egoic states etc. See: http://mindfulnessforeveryone.blogspot.ca/search?q=self-transcendence
Even fewer among us know & trust that we have agency over this process, and an even smaller proportion regularly practice to promote this process. See: http://mindfulnessforeveryone.blogspot.ca/2014/02/500-changes-ambivalence-progress.html

"Change readiness (is) defined as an individual’s 'beliefs, attitudes, & intentions regarding the extent to which changes are needed and the (the individual's and) organization’s capacity to successfully undertake those changes.'
... social psychologists have defined attitudes as 'evaluative summary judgments that can be derived from qualitatively different types of information (e.g., affective & cognitive).'
