The quickest way to be happy is to choose what you already have.
Honoring your word is also the route to creating whole and complete social and working relationships. In addition, it provides an actionable pathway to earning the trust of others.
If you could really accept that you weren't ok, you could stop proving you were ok. If you could stop proving that you were ok, you could get that it was ok not to be ok. If you could get that it was ok not to be ok you could get that you were ok the way you are. You're ok, get it?
You will leave this course being a leader and exercising leadership effectively as your natural self-expression in any situation and no matter what the circumstances.
In every human being there is both garbage and gold, it is up to us to choose what we pay attention to.
The nature of a breakthrough is for you to stand on what you've gotten, what you've loved, what's been important to you, what's touched you, what's inspired you, what's turned your life on; to stand on the value you've already created for yourself and look out at the possibility for being alive that opens up, like a freedom, in front of you.
There are all kinds of futures. There is a hoped-for future, there is a feared future, there is a predictable future, and there is an unimagined future.
For many people, life seems to be a kind of brief candle hardly worth living. But for those who are bold, who are venturesome, who have the humility to deal with what is possible rather than what is predictable, life is an exciting and challenging adventure. Life is no brief candle to me. In a world that can work for everyone, especially in which I can make a difference-that is a life worth living! That is living! That is being alive!
Happiness is a function of accepting what is.
Just like the front and the back of the hand, being and action are distinct yet inseparable.
All Knowledge is Divided into Three Domains: "What We Know", "What We Know That We Don't Know", and "What We Don't Know That We Don't Know."
We assert that integrity (the condition of being whole and complete) is a necessary condition for workability, and that the resultant level of workability determines the available opportunity for performance. Hence, the way we treat integrity in our model provides an unambiguous and actionable access to superior performance (however one wishes to define performance).
Until what is significant is created by you, you aren't living your life, you are living some inherited life.
Until you know that who you are is empty and meaningless, you don't know anything.
