Learning without execution is useless.
Motivation without action leads to self-delusion.
Ideas uninvested are wasted.
To get different results, you are going to have to do things differently.
It is time to make a new choice--choose to not let the next five years be a continuum of the last.
No matter what you want out of life, the best way to work toward it is to begin by focusing energy on giving to others. If you want to build you self-confidence, help someone else gain confidence. If you want to feel more hopeful, positive and inspired, try to infuse that for someone else. If you want more success for yourself, the fastest way to get it is to go about helping someone else obtain it.

----------------------------
This book helped me to recognize some aspects of my life in the past, bringing to attention the real reasons my life is what it is today. I had made a practice of using factors and situations of the past, as my excuses why I am where I am today. The reality that I failed to recognize, was that I was responsible for the choices I made along the way. Sure there were factors and situations that occurred...but it was me who made the choices that followed. I am where I am today because of the choices that I made. If I want my "tomorrow" to be different, then I have to change my actions today. The choices I make today will define my outcome tomorrow.
Additional Note:
I think one of the hardest things to do is to recognize that you, yourself, are ready for change...but others in your life have no interest in changing. They persist in negative and morally defeating thought patterns and actions, and in doing so, have an impact on others around them. Rather than be proactive in a positive way, they are defeating and do so in a negative way.
