Unfulfilled leaders try to create virtue from unvirtuous activity. 

They think results are more important than purpose. 

They think culture can replace family. 

Trust is simple and complex at the same time. Straightforward to earn once, yet near impossible to gain back once lost. One thing is always certain though, it is very hard to trust people who talk more than they listen. 

 

 

If people are too afraid to talk with you directly,

then they cannot be relied on, trusted, or respected. 

Leaders care enough to fight for their team. 

If the game you are playing doesn’t seem fair, there are three options:

1. Learn the real rules.
2. Play a different game.
3. Stop caring about results you cannot control.

By taking any of those actions, you will be or feel better than before. 

Excuses are ways we try to figure out why our life is an exception to the reality of truth. 

One of the biggest mistakes we make is the absurdity of regret.

Anytime we worry and stress over anything we cannot change, we are being foolish. 

Choose to be happy, and you will.

Choose to be discontent, and you will.

Choose to be negative, and your life will never be positive.

Choose to be fulfilled, and you will.

Our lives are what we are being, what we choose to be, and who we choose to be.

Truth doesn’t hide. 

Liars hide. Liars avoid confrontation. 

Liars make up their own stories to justify bad behaviors. 

Following truth means being open, transparent, honest, and showing moral integrity. 

Good leaders inform their team. 

Great leaders include their team.
