thinking secret hills
There's a tendency for us to think that the secret of our success is something that is mystical and maybe someday my time will come. And it's certainly out there somewhere; it's around the bend; it's at the top of the hill.
inspiration challenges stretching
Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
team responsibility hands
Team leaders have to connect with their team and themselves. If they don't know their team's strengths and weaknesses, they cannot hand off responsibilities to the team. And if they don't know their own strengths and weaknesses, they will not hand off responsibilities to the team.
change leader growth
Every new level of growth we hope to experience as leaders calls for a new level of change. You cannot have one without the other. If you want to be a better leader, get ready to make some trades.
motivation waiting magic
You can't avoid fear. No magic potion will take it away. And you can't wait for motivation to get you going. To conquer fear, you have to feel the fear and take action anyway.
change believe cutting
Most people use two totally different sets of criteria for judging themselves versus others. We tend to judge others according to their actions. It's very cut-and-dried. However, we judge ourselves by our intentions. Even if we do the wrong thing, if we believe our motives were good, we let ourselves off the hook. And we are often willing to do that over and over before requiring ourselves to change.
thinking done change-for-the-better
If you are too attached to your own thinking and how everything is done now, then nothing will change for the better.
believe focus proactive
I believe that everyone chooses how to approach life. If you're proactive, you focus on preparing. If you're reactive, you end up focusing on repairing.
believe fall expectations
People rise and fall to meet your level of expectations for them. If you express skepticism and doubt in others, they will return your lack of confidence with mediocrity. But if you believe in them and expect them to do well, they will go the extra mile trying to do their best.
believe believe-in-yourself able
You will never be able to bet on yourself unless you believe in yourself.
inspirational moving-on perseverance
A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.
people quality working-with-others
Faith in people is an essential quality of an influencer when working with others, yet it is a scarce commodity today.
character good-character aspect
Good character improves every aspect of a person’s life.
character rise-above limitation
Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.
