Your habits will determine your future.

When you scratch the surface, every one of us has something that we deeply want to contribute to the world. All we have to do is step up and do it.

One individual can begin a movement that turns the tide of history. Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement, Mohandas Ganhi in India, Nelson Mandela in South Africa are examples of people standing up with courage and non-violence to bring about needed changes.

When Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked a roomful of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of written goals, every one raised their hands. When he asked how many of them had that list with them right that moment, only one person raised their hand. That person was Dan O'Brien. And it was Dan O'Brien who went on to win the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Don't underestimate the power of setting goals and constantly reviewing them.

Most everything that you want is just outside your comfort zone.

One needs to have some sense of purpose. Next, you need to have a vision that grows out of that purpose.

What if you, too, were to greet every interaction in your life with the question 'What's the potential opportunity that this is?'
