The true leader - the genuine world-builder - lives to the point. Acutely concentrated on the few high priorities that will deliver the life of their greatest aspirations. At the end.
The difference between a remarkable life and a mediocre one is not nearly as large as you might imagine. Nope, we all pretty much start out with the same raw stuff.
Most organizations don't fall apart as a result of one big blow. Most relationships don't end because of one grand argument. Most lives don't fall to pieces due to one sad event. No, I suggest to you that sustained failure happens as the consequence of small, daily acts of neglect that stack up over time to lead to a blow up - and break down.
One of my weaknesses is impatience. I just have this aching need to get great things done. Can't stand slow change.
I move things forward fast. Just love speed.
Delegate to others who have strengths where you don't. But sometimes, you just need to be the one to drive the change when everyone else is waiting for someone else to take the first step. To me, that's courage in action.
Stay true to your vision/dream. There's something to be said for just staying at what you are trying to achieve well past the point everyone else gives up.
Stay true to your values.
Small, daily elevations compound into massive results over time.
The more you rely/trust and believe in your team and the bigger the investment you make in getting them to their greatness, the larger will be the commitment, engagement, and outright devotion they have when it comes to you.
Be there for people, and they'll be there for you.
Questions matter. In business, remarkable performers are brilliant at getting to the right question: the one that speeds them to the place they need to get to and offers them the missing piece they need to find.
If you're the most productive person in your community, it's definitely time to find a new community.
I write in a journal daily. This extraordinary ritual has revolutionised my mindset, transformed my heartset, and generally influenced my life exponentially.
I wish for a world where everyone understands that discomfort is the price of legendary. And fear is just growth coming to get you.
I wish for a world that gets that your 'I Can' is exponentially more important than your IQ.
Don't always be so reasonable and practical and sensible that you refuse to seize glorious opportunities when they show up and push the envelope as to what's possible for you.
You need to give to get. Give support to get it. Give praise to receive it. Give your best to get your wishes. Give more love to be beloved. Give to get.
Help others reach world-class. And they'll joyfully help you get to your best.
One of my favorite books is 'Man's Search for Meaning.'
