Welcome to Real Impact Minute. I'm Mark Simpson, Lead Coach for Real Impact Coaching, and today's real impact thought comes from Nelson Mandela. And he says, "There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged, to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." isn't that true?

If we are really making an impact, we are changing. And sometimes we return back home to our family of origin home, to the workplace that we were once in, or other old systems and well worn-out ways of doing life and we find that it no longer fits or that we've outgrown it or that we're a new person in that environment.

You know, it's the nature of a system to remain unchanged yet, the human system, if we are going to make an impact, we will be altered and we will be changed. And it's exciting to see that at those moments that we don't have to revert back to those old ways. We can go forward into those unchanged places as a change agent making an impact and really living out our true potential.
