This Talk Won’t Change Your Life

Talk Summary: Life is full of challenges: both big and small. Wanting to overcome those challenges is one thing, actually working to overcome said challenges is quite another. Yet change is not nearly as difficult as it may seem. In fact, small changes made on a consistent, daily basis can lead to big improvements in overcoming our challenges—and there is some math to verify this notion The onus is on each of us to believe that our efforts will yield the results we want and then act in accordance with that belief.
