Steve Pavlina has another thought-provoking personal improvement post titled How to Get From a 7 to a 10.  Steve opines on what it takes to make meaningful changes in your life and overcome personal or career stagnation.  I liked this quote the best:

In physics terms I’m saying that what matters is not your position but your velocity. Velocity is a vector which has both a direction and a speed. Where you’re headed and how quickly is more important than where you are.
