Trust is equal parts character and competence... You can look at any leadership failure, and it's always a failure of one or the other.

It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.

Intrinsic security doesn't come from what other people think of us or how they treat us. It doesn't come from our circumstance or out position. It comes from within. It comes from accurate paradigms and correct principles deep in our own mind and heart. It comes from inside-out congruence, from living a life of integrity in which our daily habits reflect our deepest values.

It is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.

How you treat the one reveals how you regard the many, because everyone is ultimately a one.

Visualising something organises one's ability to accomplish it.

If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
