Success brings with it the fear of blowing it. With more to lose, there's more pressure not to lose it.

Remarkable visions and genuine insights are always met with resistance.

If you have no wish, how can it possibly come true?

There are always limits, and opportunities. The ones we rehearse and focus on are the ones that shape our future.

If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.

The secret of leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there. People will follow.

If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
