Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less...titles don't have much value when it comes to leading. True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned, it comes only from influence, and that cannot be mandated. It must be earned.

When a person starts to talk about their dreams, it's as if something bubbles up from within. Their eyes brighten, their face glows, and you can feel the excitement in their words.

Birds of a feather really do flock together.

There was a very cautious man Who never laughed or played He never risked, he never tried, He never sang or prayed. And when he on day passed away, His insurance was denied, For since he never really lived, They claimed he never really died. (Anonymous poem)

Remember, in the end, it isn't what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not.

If you are training leaders, because you need them, you are too late.

Success is choosing to enter the arena of action, determined to give yourself to the cause that will better humanity and last for eternity.
