3 Elements for Achieving Major Change

I see three common elements when I look at world-changing success. These same
elements that have changed countries and started great movements will change the issues
of your life as well, wherever you are and whatever you are dealing with.

Element #1: I’m all in.

Winston Churchill, in one of the most famous speeches ever given, walked up to the
podium, put down his cane, put down his hat, and said, “Never give up. Never give up.
Never give up.” It is almost impossible to defeat someone who will never quit. Whether
you are going up against someone in sports or business or arm wrestling or tiddly winks,
if you never quit and just keep at it, you will be almost impossible to beat. You’re going
to get better and better and better, too. Element #1 is about being 100% committed to
your cause or your goal.

Element #2: I will hold nothing back.

It is possible to keep going and never give up while still holding something back. That is
not part of a world-changing formula! You can’t enter into something with the mental
reservation that you can stick your toe in and then see what everybody else does. You
can’t say, “I’m going to give it a chance and see if I like the initial results.” You have to
say, “I’m all in AND I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.” Your time, your attention,
your effort, your creativity – you have to give your all.

Element #3: There is no expiration date.

I’ll use marriage as an example of this element. If I want to make my marriage work, I
can’t say, “I’m going to see how it goes with my wife for a year or two, and if it goes well
that’s great and we’ll stay together. But if it doesn’t, then I’m going to say this isn’t
working for me.” This is not how life-changing successful relationships are formed.
There must be no expiration date. Let’s say I’m going to have an important conversation

with my wife about a decision that means a lot to me. If she doesn’t respond the way I
want her to, I can’t say, “Look, she did it again. That’s it. I’m out of here.” No. That’s
an expiration date. That’s not “all in”. That’s not “nothing held back.” You are holding
depending on how she is going to respond. If I want my marriage to work, I need to
commit 100% to working through the rough spots and disagreements. This applies to
friendship and other long term relationships, too.

We can see these elements in the actions of people who have changed the world. Jesus
knew they were going to kill him if he didn’t stop teaching what he was teaching and
doing what he was doing. It is obvious that Jesus did not want to die. The night he was
arrested he was praying to God and to ask if there was another way to fulfill his plan. He
didn’t want to die … but he was totally committed. No expiration date. Nothing held
back. He wasn’t looking to see how the political winds blew. He wasn’t looking to see
what others were going to do. In spite of not wanting to die, Jesus walked to his cross
when he did not have to go. He believed in what he was doing. He was all in, nothing
held back, no expiration date.

Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States during the Civil War, was unbelievably
unpopular at various times during his presidency. But he was committed to doing what
was right regarding slavery and to keeping the states united regardless of the personal
cost. He was all in, nothing held back, no expiration date.

Gandhi, who almost single-handedly liberated India from Britain, did it without guns. He
did it with what he called “peaceful non-cooperation.” He was respectful to the British
leaders. He and his followers did not fight. They walked right in to sure beatings. They
walked into situations where they suspected that many of them would be killed. It was
the same for Martin Luther King. He and his followers walked right into beatings and
worse for standing up and trying to change a something that wasn’t right. They were all
in, nothing held back, no expiration date.

These are three common elements you can find in every great change, every great
movement, every great success in history: I’m all in. There’s nothing held back. There’s
no expiration date.

If that’s true, then they can become a blueprint you can overlay onto your life. Apply
these elements to your business or your career, your interactions with fellow employees,
bosses, customers … “I’m all in. Nothing held back and no expiration date. I’m going
to apply that in this next call with a customer. I’m going to apply that to my next

interaction with my boss. I’m going to apply that in every situation in the work I do each
day.

It takes courage to do this, and courage comes from love. You may need to heal some
heart issues before you are ready to apply this blueprint. If you do it and if you keep
doing it, it will first of all change you and then it will change whoever you are around as
you interact in this way toward them and with the things they are involved with.

Apply it to parenting. With my children I’m all in, nothing held back, with no expiration
date. That means I’m going to spend some time with them. I’m going to find out what it
is they need. I’ve got to evaluate whether I might be getting angry with them because of
my own heart junk and not because of them. Are you approaching your children from a
place of truth and love that encourages them, builds them up, and causes them to become
mature and loving human beings? They can tell when you’re coming from a genuine
place of love and commitment to their growth and wellbeing.

Overlay this blueprint onto any and every area of your life and it will change it. You will
be amazed how quickly this can transform any area of your life. One more time: I’m all
in. There’s nothing held back. There’s no expiration date. Just try it and see what
happens.
