Talent Is Never Enough


I'm currently reading 'Talent Is Never Enough' by John C. Maxwell. Here's an interesting excerpt from Chapter 6. It is about change.

Here's what to look for and how to focus your energy to get the kinds of changes that will change you for the better:

Don't change just enough to get away from your problems - change enough to solve them.

Don't change your circumstances to improve your life - change yourself to improve your circumstances.

Don't do the same old thing expecting to get different results - get different results by doing something new.

Don't wait to see the light to change - start changing as soon as you feel the heat.

Don't see changes as something hurtful that must be done - see it as something helpful that can be done.

Don't avoid paying the immediate price of change - if you do, you will pay the ultimate price of never improving.
