How a little change can recharge your batteries

Each of us (you, me, everyone) has barely scratched the surface of our potential.

We live with too much of the same routine in the same environment with the same people.

Different doesn’t always mean better, but it can be surprising, and it can teach us how to tap more of our potential.

How’s this for a metaphor: I was using my camera recently when the batteries ran out. It happened at the worst possible moment, and I didn’t have extras. So I improvised in an unusual way, taking the two worn-out AA batteries and switching their positions in the camera. It worked! That instant change-up somehow delivered enough power for five more photographs.

Isn’t that how it often works (on a much bigger scale) in life? You never know when a small change will boost your power and help you do more of what matters most.
