Many things might have caused pain this year. The good thing is that we would not have felt them if we weren't alive. Thankful that I'm alive!
You should author the narration of your life and organization. If you don't, someone will, and you may not like it.
Don't take it personal. Whether people like or dislike you, it most probably is because of your beliefs, principles, and values...
When people don't trust you, they may walk with you but they second guess every step you take- don't believe what you say is what you mean...
Your haters may stage fake games that they know you cannot win so that you may fail and put that blame on you and in turn doubt yourself.
The people who care about you may not tell you your blind spots fearing to offend/hurt you. Open up and ask their feedback and get enlightened.
We should invest on our personal development not only to outgrow challenges but also maximize every opportunity that comes on our way.
Some people have the innate ability to cheat artfully during dating, interview... Once they're in, they completely change and become different that they leave you wonder whether you have ever met them before.
It may be necessary to change our brand, catch phrases, strategy, design, etc. once in awhile. It may give us competitive advantages. But a change that demands the change of the SOUL of who we're doesn't deserve to be entertained.
More than the clarity we need to have about what MUST change, we need to have even more clarity about what MUST NOT change...
Change is a constant but that does not mean we MUST change everything. There MUST be things we MUST NOT change at all in our life and organization.
We don’t need to reach the end of the road to learn that we were on the wrong road." Page 7.
If you truly have character and respecting others is your core value, you respect everybody regardless of who they are, what they believe and how they behave...
The few people who earned my respect are those who are predictable in their character but totally unpredictable the way they think!
The character of someone shouldn't be measured based on what they eat, drink or the way they dress. Character that commands following is more than demonstrating some 'nice', 'cute', 'appealing' behaviors. It is deeper than that!
Character isn't all about becoming a saint or perfect. No one is perfect! There are areas we all are working on to improve and fine tune..
It never stops to amaze me how God sends the right people at the right stage of your life as a confirmation to let you know that you're not crazy.
When you feel like you're crazy because you think differently than the people around you, God sends a confirmation that you've not lost it.
To avoid surprises later, spend enough time to know people initially. Don't just ask the obvious. Go the extra mile... Be creative and unconventional...
Life without making progress is dead. What is life if you don't embrace new truths that scare you, meet people who intimidate you, and so on.
Desire activates the potential that was coined within you. You cannot unleash your potential without stepping up your desire to succeed...
