The Power of Change

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
— Sir Winston Churchill

One must never lose time in vainly regretting the past or in complaining against the changes which cause us discomfort, for change is the essence of life.
— Anatole France

I can change only myself, but sometimes that is enough.
— Ruth Humlecker

Change provides the opportunity for innovation. It gives you the chance to demonstrate your creativity.
— Keshavan Nair

Welcome change as a friend; try to visualize new possibilities and the blessings they are bound to bring to you. If you stay interested in everything around you – in new ways of life, new people, new places and ideas – you’ll stay young, no matter what your age. Never stop learning and never stop growing. This is the key to a rich and fascinating life.
— Alexander De Seversky

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

It’s great to show people that you don’t have to put an age limit on your dreams, and you don’t have to be a teenager to win a gold medal.
— Dara Torres, at thirty-three, the oldest U.S. swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Games

There is no age limit on transforming your life. No rule that says that after a certain age you are simply the way you are and that’s it. Change not only is possible at any time but is essential.

Vision

It is important to remember that it is the nature of a vision to have gaps. If there were no gaps, somebody else would have already delivered the goods. For this reason, every successful inventor, leader and explorer faces criticism.
— Andy Stanley

Generally speaking, if God has given you a vision of involvement and achievement, do not expect anyone else to fully appreciate it, because it is a personal vision for you alone, and it is rare for another person to relate on that personal wave length.
— Peter Daniels

Vision looks inward and becomes duty. Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration. Vision looks upward and becomes faith.
— Stephen Wise

When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.
— Oswald Chambers

The world is hard on a vision. After all, a vision is about change. And change is not welcomed in most arenas of life. For a vision to survive, it must be mature and healthy before being exposed to the cynical, critical, stubborn environment in which it is expected to survive.

You must adapt to change, and condition yourself to see it as an opportunity to improve yourself, not as a window to failure.
— Rick Pitino

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
—George Bernard Shaw

Change means the unknown. It means, too many people cry, insecurity. Nonsense! No one from the beginning of time has had security.
— Eleanor Roosevelt

See change as opportunity, not threat.
— Jack Welch

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
— King Whitney, Jr.

By challenging yourself to try new things, you become accustomed to adapting.
— Aransas

Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even profit by it, but to cause it.
— Harry Emerson Fosdick

You have to look at change as something that’s exciting, something that’s valuable. People with high self-esteem and passion will look at change as being stimulating and exciting, enabling them to conquer new horizons, instead of something that’s going to inhibit them and make them nervous, apprehensive about both their job and their confidence in themselves.
— Rick Pitino

— Jacob Braude

A man who reforms himself has contributed his full share towards the reformation of his neighbor.
— Norman Douglas

Everybody talks about wanting to change things, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that’s a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.
— Rob Reiner

But where was I to start? The world is so vast, I shall start with the country I know best, my own. But my country is so very large. I had better start with my town. But my town, too, is large. I had best start with my street. No, my home. No, my family. Never mind, I shall start with myself.
— Elie Wiesel

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly, until you can learn to do it well.

In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
— Eric Hoffer

No one is too old to learn.
— Dr. Bob Rotella

Your take-home pay is not what you earn. It’s what you earn plus what you learn. I’ve never worked anywhere or with anyone unless the “learn” outweighed the “earn.”
— Deborah Shaw
