The experience of pain or loss can be a formidably motivating force.

Sometimes we hold on to our possessions because we fear we might run out - life seems scarce. But when we believe that giving is the way to live, we will produce more in the future - life seems abundant.

Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.

Most people use two totally different sets of criteria for judging themselves versus others. We tend to judge others according to their actions. It's very cut-and-dried. However, we judge ourselves by our intentions. Even if we do the wrong thing, if we believe our motives were good, we let ourselves off the hook. And we are often willing to do that over and over before requiring ourselves to change.

Teamwork gives you the best opportunity to turn vision into reality.
