People are like sticks of dynamite. The power is on the inside, but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.

Behind me is infinite power, before me is endless possibility, around me is boundless opportunity.

Find what makes your heart sing and create your own music.

I highly recommend setting aside pockets of time during each day for solitude. You might have only five or ten minutes, but be alone and uninterrupted. And then sometime each week devote an extended time - at least one hour - to reconnect with your soul. How and when you do it is a very personal thing, but plan it because solitude doesn't happen on its own. Make it a priority in your life.

Never underestimate the power of belief when it comes to fulfilling your dreams. I can say with no hesitation that every person I've ever met who has achieved any degree of success has one thing in common: they believed with all their heart they could do it.

An individual's yearning to reach outside his life is a seed of greatness waiting for a stream of inspiration. Carving that stream to people's hearts is a simpler task if the endeavor you are leading them into is attached to a bigger story.

Never forget, organizational values start and end with you, the leader. Whether your example is good or bad, expect most employees to follow your lead.
