"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. "
Thousands of businesses follow the crowd. Today, how can you set yourself apart? A passionate conviction that you're providing something valuable elevates your business. Are you driven to solve problems people desperately want solved? Only then will you become a molder of consensus.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
What matters most to you? Don't shove aside what matters most to you for what seems urgent. Speak up. Speak out. Stand up for yourself and for what you believe is right. No one else will do this for you.
"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."
Commit today to giving your best effort every day. Find something important to pour your heart into - something that matters. Pour your life into something big that you care deeply about, and watch what happens. The fire that fuels a life of joy is a big enough "why."
Today, think about your "why." Is it big enough?
Today, think about your "why." Is it big enough?
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Stand your ground when the heat comes. Allow the examples of people like Dr. King to make you think differently about what's possible. Give yourself permission to dream big dreams and chase those dreams. When the storms come, allow those dreams to give you the courage to stand firm.
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
What would today be like, if every thought you entertained created positive momentum?
Sometimes, it's right to get mad. But what are you going to do about it? How can you use the situation as a lesson to propel you forward? What can you improve? Who can help? How can you make it the way you want it?
Today, will you choose love instead of hate? Will you choose to do something about it, instead of complaining about the way it ought to be?
Choose to be inspired. Choose to act inspired. Choose to inspire those around you. Your attitude and actions could change the culture of your business, your family, and your community.
You might even change the course of an entire nation.
