About This Quote

The sequence is suffering, insight, will, action, change. The idea of the sequence is that you should start by suffering, then gain insight into your suffering, make a decision to change your situation, and finally do something about it. The suffering part of the equation is naturally the most difficult part—the fact that you are in pain can be really hard to face up to. But understanding that pain is part of life is an important step.

Insight into the situation is the next step that allows you to see how things are changing for the better. And then comes will—you work on changing things until you achieve results. The conclusion of this process is action—you take action to build upon your insights and results.

If you put all this together you become a person who makes real changes in your life.
