“We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation”

Jim Rohn

Simplified Meaning:

People often make changes in their lives for two main reasons. The first is feeling inspired, like when someone sees a movie or reads a book that motivates them to start a new hobby or improve themselves. For example, watching a documentary about a famous athlete might inspire someone to start exercising more. The second reason is out of desperation, such as when a person needs to make a change because they are unhappy or facing a tough situation. Imagine someone deciding to find a new job because they are completely miserable at their current one. In both cases, the driving force behind the change is either something positive that excites them or something negative that forces them to act. Understanding this can help people recognize why they want to change and what steps they need to take to make those changes happen.
