By adding a proper term to the Lagrangian density of a real non-linear KG system with a proposed non-topological unstable solitary wave solution, its stability guaranteed appreciably. This additional term in the new modified Lagrangian density behaves like a strong internal force which stands against any arbitrary small deformation in the proposed non-topological solitary wave solution.
