A Book I’m Reading – Change Your World
I’ve had the privilege of meeting John Maxwell a few times. I’ve read a lot of his books and given dozens away. Anytime I see him teach, I am inspired by his desire to keep learning and to keep adding value to others. Out of all of the books he’s written, this book may be the book he was born to write!
From Amazon:

A Lesson I’m Learning
When I’m wrestling with a situation, trying to figure out the best path forward, I’m learning to ask the question: “Whose needs are being met?”
Scripture reminds us over and over again to put the needs of others first … to live with a posture of service.
So if I’m putting my needs first, I’m probably making the wrong decision. If I’m bending to the singularly focused need of someone else, that probably isn’t the right decision either. But if I’m putting the good of the many first, I’m probably on the right track.
What do you think? Do you agree?
I recommend Scribd at least once a year because I think it’s a fantastic service. Scribd is basically the “Netflix” of ebooks and audiobooks. For one (reasonable) monthly fee you can access thousands of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents, sheet music, and more!
If you are looking for a way to read more or listen to more audiobooks, please give this a try and let me know what you think. If you use my link above, you’ll get 60 days free.
A Quote from I’m Thinking About
The smallest action is better than the biggest intention. No one ever intended their way into greatness. We’ve been waiting on others to change the world. You don’t get attention by talking. You get attention by taking action.” — John C. Maxwell
