Talent is a gift, but our character is a choice. Talent is natural ability, our gift from God, but we have the power to determine our character. That power rests on a foundation consisting of the choices we make in life. And those choices almost always dictate the amount of trust others have in us, and to what level of leadership we rise.

We have many years to eat and sleep, but how many years do we have to make a difference in the lives of others? That's the highest calling any of us can have: Living our life so as to intentionally add value to others. But to do this, we have to make ourselves more valuable. We have to keep learning, growing, developing as leaders and taking responsibility for being the change we want to see in the world.

A manager says 'go,' but a leader says 'let's go'.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker

People are not going to give you a vision, but God can.

Often people fail to start or complete a task because they don't see any connection between what they're doing and what they really want to accomplish in life.

Success is achieved in inches, not miles.
