“Commitment comes as a result of choice, not conditions.”

The length and breath of our influence on others are directly related to the depth of our concern for them.

Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.

The best way to help people is to see the best in them.

If you can learn to understand people how they think, what they feel, what inspires them, how they’re likely to act and react in a given situation- then you can motivate and influence them in a positive way.

If you don’t change the direction you are going, then you’re likely to end up where you’re heading.

If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.

Leadership is taking responsibility while others are making excuses.

When you make a commitment, you create hope. When you keep a commitment you create trust!

Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.

Your goal as a leader isn’t to be indispensable to the people you lead; it is to leave your people something that is indispensable to them.

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing. That’s the Law of Consistency. It doesn’t matter how talented you are. It doesn’t matter how many opportunities you receive. If you want to grow, consistency is key.

Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.

To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.

The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.

If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.

Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.

One cannot choose how one’s life begins but one can choose to face the end with courage

Where you are today is the sum of every choice you’ve ever made. If you don’t like where you are, start making different choices!

You gain or lose power according to the choices that you make.

When you choose not to forgive, the experience that you do not forgive sticks with you.

The more conscious we become the more consciously we choose that which we set in motion to create.

Often we have no choice about doing things, but we can always choose how to do them.

I do what I like now. I just don’t have time for it all.

Choose to soften. Again and again and again. Despite, despite, despite.
