They ask themselves, “Why am I this way?” They desire to change, but they don’t do anything differently so that they can change.

“When it comes to identifying a real leader, that task can be much easier. Don't listen to the claims of the person professing to be the leader. Don't examine his credentials. Don't check his title. Check his influence. The proof of leadership is found in the followers.
