Description

For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent. We’ve all experienced
nchange for a moment, only to feel let down and disappointed in the end. In fact, many people attempt
nchange with a sense of fear and dread because unconsciously they believe the changes will only be
ntemporary. A prime example of this is someone who needs to begin dieting, but finds himself putting it
noff, primarily because he unconsciously knows that whatever pain he endures in order to create
nthe change will bring him only a short-term reward. For most of my life I’ve pursued what I consider to
nbe the organizing principles of lasting change, and you’ll learn many of these and how to utilize them
nin the pages that follow. But for now, I’d like to share with you three elementary principles of change
nthat you and I can use immediately to change our lives. While these principles are simple, they are
nalso extremely powerful when they are skillfully applied. These are the exact same changes that an
nindividual must make in order to create personal change, that a company must make in order to
nmaximize its potential, and that a country must make in order to carve out its place in the world. In
nfact, as a world community these are the changes that we all must make to preserve the
nquality of life around the globe.
