Great leaders are both effective and efficient.

Efficiency is getting the most possible output by maximizing your resources. 

Effectiveness is getting the best, most right outcome in the most efficient way possible. 

If you work hard and still fail, it was worth it. 

If you try to help others and still fail, it was worth it. 

If you learned something new and still fail, it was worth it. 

You actions always build upon each other, each experience magnifies the our previous efforts. 

All the little failures add up and create the foundation for your eventual success. 

Trust is not inspired. 

Trust is earned. 

You inspire courage, faith, and action. 

Trust is earned with every action and every word.

 

Never confuse management with leadership. 

Both are needed, but they are not the same. 

Managers execute what leaders inspire. 

Being wrong is painful. 

Being nothing is more painful. 

Mistakes hurt, but not as bad as the regret of doing nothing. 

When you take action you risk failing, but you also have the chance to win. 

Doing nothing guarantees you will never achieve anything.  

Your ‘WHY’ is what everyone holds on to when you fail. 

Second guessing yourself always puts you in second place. 

If life feels hard, it should be. 

If there is suffering, that is the way it should be. 

Suffering, or learning to suffer, is a vital skill. 

Suffering is a skill that can be learned and developed. 

Of course there are ways to end the suffering. 

Those methods should always be applied as well, once the lesson is learned. 

A smart mind without a kind heart is like spice without the meat. You can get by on just the meat alone, but you can never make it with just the spice. 

Fighting back selfishness is how we start to pull back the extra layers of who we currently are, 

and begin to discover, to see, 

who we really could be.
