There is always pressure to change to be better. Many people seek external influences to help them become the person they want to be. However, for most people to become truly changed they have to have the will and power in themselves to remain change. Understanding and self-realization are some of the motivations for many individuals to change.

Many people change their views and goals when they come to realization and understanding of reality. For example, in the book Catcher of the Rye Holden, a teenage boy, who leaves his family, and spends much of his time traveling alone trying to save the innocence in children. He got expelled for academic failure from a school called Pencey Prep. Even though he is really smart and sensitive, he narrates in a jaded voice. He is uncomfortable with his own weaknesses. He seems hesitant to develop any real ambitions or goals. He refuses to associate himself with mature ways of living, and isolates himself from anyone his own age or older. He stands poised on the cliff separating childhood from adulthood. He sees this particular period of his life as his own personal paradise. In the end, Holden realizes that he can not be the catcher in the Rye forever. He can not save children from losing their innocence. This is when Holden changes his views of the world. His realization helps brings him back to the life of reality and logic.

Furthermore, many people fighting anorexia and bulimic are usually successful when they come to realize their own self-worth and beauty. Many rehabilitation centers focus of helping their patients find their soul and self-worth. It depends on the people if they really want to change their beliefs and attitudes because they control it themselves. If they really want to change their beliefs then they will have to fight really hard for it to be. In realizing their self-worth, many bulimics and and anorexic people are able to defeat the illness. They are able to defeat their own illness by thinking and picking the right way to go. They understood that they do not have to be thin to be beautiful in realizing that beauty comes from within. People do not have to be thin in order to be good looking. These people are able to change their view of the world. Most becoming less materialistic and more.

Realization of reality and logic helps motivate people to change. It motivate people to change because they are able to go back to their senses.
