What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to
start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an
ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation
and success. Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight loss, world
view, personality shift, major life change, single change like stopped smoking
or drinking soda to starting exercising or going back to school. I want to hear
how people’s life were a bit or a lot better through reading and your progress.
TIA 🙏
Are cross-post allowed? Didn’t realized this community existed and it is more fitting to post a question relating to books here then there.
When I was a kid, the governor of Oregon was a guy named Tom McCall who famously said:
“We want you to visit our State of Excitement often. Come again and again. But for heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live. Or if you do have to move in to live, don’t tell any of your neighbors where you are going.”
Years ago I was gifted a biography of him called “Fire at Eden’s Gate: The Tom McCall Story” and introduced another quote of his that I try to take to heart every day.
“Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky, they are people who say ‘This is my community and it’s my responsibility to make it better.’”
That second quote is great.
