Leaders Never Outgrow The Need To Change.

Talent Is A Gift, But Our Character Is A Choice. Talent Is Natural Ability, Our Gift From God, But We Have The Power To Determine Our Character. That Power Rests On A Foundation Consisting Of The Choices We Make In Life. And Those Choices Almost Always Dictate The Amount Of Trust Others Have In Us, And To What Level Of Leadership We Rise.

If You Lack Initiative, Recognize That The Problem Comes From The Inside, Not From Others. Determine Why You Hesitate To Take Action. Does Risk Scare You? Are You Discouraged By Past Failures?

If You're Lying, You're Lying.
