The fastest way to get anywhere, is to know what direction you need to go. 

Great leaders are excellent at asking questions. Great leaders, when lost, find out where to go by vision, curiosity, and courage. 

When you show enthusiasm you make everyone around you feel a little bit of discomfort, they either rise to your level or need to remove themselves. This is how you build with the right people, you show the right attitude. 

True confidence is built on lived successful experience and the ability to not need validation from others. 

Every new challenge is really just a new opportunity to grow. 

To be valued and trusted:

Do things right. 

Do the right things. 

Everyone usually always justifies their actions with excuses for why they feel they behaved with sound judgement. 

Our life is built upon two opposing principles. 

We have agency. 

We have destiny. 

Our agency allows us to choose our actions. 

Our destiny is the fact that we cannot choose the results or consequences of our actions. 

If we control our actions based on the natural laws and consequences, then the our lives can be meaningful, fulfilled, and crafted in a way that allows us to fulfill our purpose. 

 

Thoughts are often liars. 

We give away too much control to those liars. 

We have the pure power to convince ourselves of anything. 

We can convince ourselves of our strength, or convince ourselves of our weakness. 

We can convince ourselves of our potential, or we can convince ourselves to stop growing. 

Confidence flows from discipline and results. It means doing what you are capable of even when faced with doubts and lack of motivation.
