Character creates consistency, and if your people know what they can expect from you, they will continue to look to you for leadership.

The ability to understand people is one of the greatest assets anyone can ever have.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Those closest to me will determine the level of my success.

If you lack initiative, recognize that the problem comes from the inside, not from others. Determine why you hesitate to take action. Does risk scare you? Are you discouraged by past failures? Do you not see the potential that opportunity offers? Find the source of your hesitation, and address it. You won't be able to move forward on the outside until you can move forward on the inside.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker

If you want to reach your potential and become the person you were created to be, you must do much more than just experience life and hope that you learn what you need along the way. You must go out of your way to seize growth opportunities as if your future depended on it. Why? Because it does. Growth doesn't just happen--not for me, not for you, not for anybody. You HAVE TO go after it.
