Notes

Stop living life by default and start living your life by design

Our wounds ultimately lead to wisdom

Don’t fret about life’s grand rewards. Enjoy its tiny delights. There are plenty for all of us.

Happiness does not arrive when you achieve certain things. It comes when you think certain thoughts.

The abundance principle: the more you give to others, the more you receive yourself

It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep your whole life

Leadership in life begins with leadership in your home

Things that get committed on paper are things that get committed to life

What you focus on in your life grows and what you think about expands

‘There is nothing noble about being superior to others. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.’

Leadership relies on commanding people rather than condemning them

Before anyone will lend you a hand, you must first touch their hearts

Sincere praise is one of the finest motivators of human heart and yet we rarely use it

Become fanatically honest, speak your truth

Focus on your greatness and your strengths, not your weaknesses

Envision daily, set goals weekly, walk with giants regularly and give graciously

If everybody was satisfied with themselves, there would be no heroes

The person who does not make time for exercise must eventually make time for illness

Perform small acts of greatness every day. When you do this, your legacy will take care of itself
