Decide What You’re Not Willing To Change

I have to admit that I’m a personal growth fanatic. There are few things I enjoy more than learning something new. My father got me started when I was a kid. He actually paid me to read books that would help me learn and grow.

Now I’m over sixty, and I still love it when I can see myself improving in an area I’ve targeted for growth. But as much as I’m dedicated to progress, there are some things that I’m not willing to change – no matter what – such as my faith and my values. I’d rather die than forfeit my faith in God or my commitment to integrity, family, generosity, and belief in people. Some things are not worth compromising at any price.

I want to encourage you to think about the nonnegotiables in your life. What are you willing to live and die for?
Once you identify those things, then everything else should be open for change.
