John Maxwell said if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten. The speaker argues that when things aren't working, the first question should be what you're doing wrong, not what others are doing. Change yourself instead of trying to change other people.

You know, John Maxwell says, "If you always do what you've always done, then you're always going to get what you've always gotten." I think about this thought a lot. You know, if there's something in my life that I don't like or I don't want, the first question I ask myself is, "What have I been doing or not doing that has maybe led to this moment?" And usually I don't like the answer to the question because it requires me to change. I usually need to start doing something or do something more, or stop doing something, or just do less of something that's not helping my cause. You know, I have found that while this kind of thought process is uncomfortable at times, it allows me to really experience the most amount of joy in my life because I'm rarely looking for someone else to change, someone else that I can't control. I'm simply asking the one person that I can control, which is me, to change. What about you? Are you trying to change someone else? Are you trying to change everyone else? Or are you always looking first at how you need to change? Let me hear from you.
