“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

... instead of the gap. It is a far more powerful process.It’s very important that you take time to examine and measure where you are from where you’ve been. When you do this, there are a host of psychological benefits:  enormous amounts of gratitude and appreciation into your life.

Measure the gain 

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

Our brains assimilate information for the purpose of prediction.Being able to predict how our behavior will lead to outcomes is one of the most important goals of our brains. And prediction errors are exactly what you want to experience more of if you want a lifetime of growth.

One of the most fundamental components of making a positive change in your life is developing a healthy relationship with your parents — whether they are alive or not.Suppressed emotions and trauma lead people to unhealthy and addictive cycles.

Parent-child relationships 

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”

“The way to measure your progress is backward against where you started, not against your ideal.”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

It’s far more powerful than base knowledge. There are lots of people who have information in their heads. But wisdom and intelligence is the proper application of knowledge.

Intelligence is applied understanding

How much have you changed in the past 12 months? How much have you changed in the past 5 years (60 months)? What new challenges are you taking on? What new books have you read that have completely changed your paradigm? What new relationships and experiences have opened you to new worlds of possibilities?
