Respect is earned by keeping commitments. 

Real vices don’t get managed or moderated. You control them, or they control you. 

Retreating from the struggle of life often requires us to deny our true selves. Be hasty in taking positive action, and careful when deciding to do nothing. Deeper sorrow and more painful is the road where the obstacles are initially avoided, not out of wisdom, but because of lack of courage. 

Associating with people with differences is needed and wonderful. Associating with people who have different values, end goals, and ambitions is often detrimental to your desired results. Find and connect with those who are different, but in the end, want the same things. 

The deeper we understand someone or something, the more we can influence. 

When you are feeling anxiety, stress, or fear – managing attention becomes hard. If you cannot manage your focus, you cannot manage your life. Reducing anxiety, stress, and fear will help you have a better life. Instead of trying to control your emotions though, work on controlling your responses. Action is always the antidote to negative emotions. 

Eventually, you will always find what you look for. 

If you have a consistent goal in mind, your actions become simple, what to do becomes clear, and you can follow your path easier. 

A good leader can see the big picture and can explain the situation. Next they will paint a picture of the future (vision) and ask the team for ideas on how to get there. Once they do that, they find ways to encourage and support the team to execute their ideas on how to accomplish the vision. 

Sometimes, the best way to do more, is to write down and tell others what you plan to do. 

When you hold others accountable, they always do more. 

When you hold yourself accountable, you always do more. 

There is a secret to producing more: accountability.
