‘Doubt Your Limits, Not Your Abilities’

‘Ignore the haters. They will always be there, but you decide whether or not to let them drag you down.’

‘Embrace that you need to be positive to help the people around you thrive. You can choose to be the person who lifts others up, or the person who brings them down.’

‘Find the silver lining. If you can’t see there is potential good in a situation, you can’t make it happen.’

‘If you are going to spend any of your precious energy doubting something, doubt your limits, not your abilities.’

‘Opportunity is all around you, but if you are too busy gawking at obstacles, you’ll be blinded to those opportunities.’

‘It’s amazing how much better everyone else gets when you work on yourself.’

‘Nothing is more powerful than a positive mind.’

‘Opportunity doesn’t come knocking on your schedule. Good things come to those who persist.’

‘Lighten up and get going. If you don’t go the right way immediately, so what? Just dust yourself off, find the humor, and give it another go.’

‘Don’t think about what is possible for the person you used to be last year. Instead, think about what is possible for the person you want to become.’

‘The good news is that we don’t have to be prefect to be a leader.’

‘Leadership is about taking people where they would not have gone by themselves.’

‘The best leaders focus on just three priorities: Idea, People, Action.’

‘You cannot succeed by trying to become someone else.’

‘If you want to lead, you have to make a difference.’

‘Your future perfect idea must be simple enough that it can be interpreted and made relevant.’

‘You need to create a team and a network of people who have faith in your story.‘

‘You do not really know your own idea until you know how other people will judge it.’

‘As a leader you need to know where you add value to your team, where you make a difference.’

‘You can teach skills but you cannot teach values.’

‘Can you learn to be a leader?’
