The "Change" We Want to See in Ourselves

So going to give you a little insight into how I think, I know, dangerous. I was at the gym today reading Seth Godin's new book Meatball Sundae about in order for a company to become successful in utilizing New Marketing, they must first change the way their company works. His point is that you cannot sell old products (meatballs) successfully using ONLY New Marketing (whipped cream).

So as I was reading, Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror came on during my workout mix. Please hold judgment, Michael had his fine moments. So I started thinking about how you could apply the similar analogies to making changes in your personal life. If you simply make a physical change, you cannot make the assumption that other aspects of your life are going to improve. In actuality, you have to start at square one. Think about the goals you want to accomplish, the people you want to surround yourself with, the relationships you want to create, and then start implementing small changes that will make those goals a reality. In order to change the greater direction of your life, you need to start with the basics of how you are living.

Just a thought :)
