John Maxwell, author of Thinking for a Change, says “One of the reasons people don’t achieve their dreams is that they desire to change their results without changing their thinking.”  He also quotes billionaire entrepreneur Richard M. Devos who states, “The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.”
