Any leader who asks the right questions of the right people has the potential to discover and develop great ideas.

Like every person, every thought has the potential to become something great.

Whenever I mentor people and help them discover their purpose, I always encourage them to start the process by discovering their strengths, not exploring their shortcomings. Why? Because people's purpose in life is always connected to their giftedness. It always works that way. You are not called to do something that you have no talent for. You will discover your purpose by finding and remaining in your strength zone.

Successful people reject rejection.

Although it's admirable to be ambitious and hard-working, it's more desirable to be smart-working.

By choosing to embrace and practice good values every day, you choose the higher course in life. And your life goes in a direction that you will always feel good about. You may not always get what you desire, but you will always be the person you desire to be.

Effective leaders don't gather things just for themselves; they do it in order to give to others.

There is no such thing as a perfect flawless attitude.

When you face discouragement, you can do one of two things, and the one you choose will color your perspective. You can look at others to place the blame, or you can look at yourself to discover your opportunities. The choice is yours.
