          “If you’re not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it’s almost certain you’re not reaching your potential as a leader.” ~ Seth Godin, Tribes

            No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change.

                  ‎”It is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives.” ~ Jim Rohn

                    “Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.” ~ Nora Ephron

                    The 8th Habit [Book]

                      The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness by Stephen Covey
                      By: Stephen R. Covey

                      Book Overview: In order to thrive, innovate, excel and lead in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker Age, we must build on and move beyond effectiveness…to greatness. Accessing the higher levels of human genius and motivation in today’s new reality requires a sea change of new thinking — a new mind-set, a new skill-set, a new tool-set — in short, a whole new habit.

                        ‘Tis the Set of the Sail — or — One Ship Sails East

                          But to every mind there openeth,
                          A way, and way, and away,
                          A high soul climbs the highway,
                          And the low soul gropes the low,
                          And in between on the misty flats,
                          The rest drift to and fro.

                          But to every man there openeth,
                          A high way and a low,
                          And every mind decideth,
                          The way his soul shall go.

                          One ship sails East,
                          And another West,
                          By the self-same winds that blow,
                          ‘Tis the set of the sails
                          And not the gales,
                          That tells the way we go.

                          Like the winds of the sea
                          Are the waves of time,
                          As we journey along through life,
                          ‘Tis the set of the soul,
                          That determines the goal,
                          And not the calm or the strife.

                          ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

                            “The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.  And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.” ~ R.D. Laing

                              “Between stimulus and response there is a space.  In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.  In those choices lie our growth and our happiness.” ~ Victor Frankl

                                “I find television to be very educating.  Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book.”  ~ Groucho Marx

                                  “You cannot take the mild approach to the weeds in your mental garden. You have got to hate weeds enough to kill them. Weeds are not something you handle; weeds are something you devastate.” ~ Jim Rohn

                                    “Learn to adapt. Things change, circumstances change. Adjust yourself and your efforts to what it is presented to you so you can respond accordingly. Never see change as a threat, because it can be an opportunity to learn, to grow, evolve, and become a better person.” ~ via Rodolfo Costa

                                      “If you want to change the world, who do you begin with, yourself or others?  I believe if we begin with ourselves and do the things that we need to do and become the best person we can be, we have a much better chance of changing the world for the better.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

                                        “It is difficult to feel accomplished when you’re not accomplishing something that matters to you. Doing something ‘for your own good’ is rarely for your own good if it causes you to be less than who you really are.” ~ Ken Robinson, The Element
