If a movement is to have an impact it must belong to those who join it, not those who lead it.

Putting yourself first is not selfish. Quite the opposite. You must put your happiness and health first before you can be of help to anyone else.

People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it and what you do simply proves what you believe.

All the perks, all the benefits and advantages you may get for the rank or position you hold, they aren’t meant for you. They are meant for the role you fill. And when you leave your role, which eventually you will, they will give the ceramic cup to the person who replaces you. Because you only ever deserved a Styrofoam cup.

Leaders don't look for recognition from others, leaders look for others to recognize.

A parent does not do everything for their kid. A parent that does everything for their kid produces a kid with no self-confidence. If our parents fixed everything for us and did not allow us to do anything on our own, or intervened every single time, we would all grow up to be completely dependent. The reason we grow up to be healthy adults is because our parents played this game of giving us responsibility, disciplining us when necessary, letting us try, letting us fail.

Poor leaders push us towards the goal. Great leaders guide us through the journey.
