The whole idea of motivation is a trap, forget motivation, just do it

Thank God for the tough times. They are the reason you are there - to be the leader. If everything was going well, the people wouldn't need you!

What I find them struggling most isn't with one of the twelve [things from daily list]; I find them struggling with what decisions to make.

Successful people make right decisions early and manage those decisions daily.

When values, thoughts, feelings, and actions are in alignment, a person becomes focused and character is strengthened.

Don't hide bad news. With multiple information channels available, bad news always becomes known. Be candid right from the start.

I say this in the book [Today Matters], we either spend our day repairing or preparing, and if I haven't taken good care of my today's, they accumulate. So all of a sudden today what I'm doing is I'm going back, I'm repairing bad relationships and wrong decisions, and I'm digging a hole. I'm not making any progress because I'm in a repairing mode, versus if I really make today count that prepares me for tomorrow. Tomorrow really will take care of itself if I do the right thing today.
