Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
“Say no to the drug of gradualness. It was Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke out strongly against making slow changes. Either we risk or we don’t, he said. Either we change or we don’t. There’s no acceptable middle ground because it lulls us into complacency. Lasting changes rarely occur when we ease our way into the future. They come when we leap. The leap themselves can be small or large. Once we take action, we see things differently and for many of us there’s no going back.”
~ Robert Cooper, 21st century optimal living expert from The Other 90%: How to Unlock Your Vast Untapped Potential for Leadership & Life
Reminds me of William James’ brilliant statement:
“To change your life:
Start immediately;
Do it flamboyantly;
No exceptions.”
How great is that?!?!
You want change?
Change.
