Exercising leadership is an expression of your aliveness... But when you cover yourself up, you risk losing something as well. In the struggle to save yourself, you can give up too many of those qualities that are the essence of being alive, like innocence, curiosity, and compassion.

Your behavior reflects your actual purposes.

Values are shaped and refined by rubbing against real problems, and people interpret their problems according to the values they hold.

If you find what you do each day seems to have no link to any higher purpose, you probably want to rethink what you're doing.

Worry not that your child listens to you; worry most that they watch you.

Conflict is the primary engine of creativity and innovation. People don't learn by staring into a mirror; people learn by encountering difference.

Stay diagnostic even as you take action.
