Positive change requires effort; is it not worth it?

The book that I previously referenced by Dr. M. Scott Peck has inspired me to make a change. He points out that sometimes we are the reason for our troubles. If we are in a rut, the way out may require that we turn back to the point where we got off the wrong exit, he indicates. That concept may be daunting if we have already proceeded very far down the wrong roadway. It takes effort and courage to see the error of our ways and turn things around to begin the healing process.
