The Only Way To Get Better Is To Challenge Yourself

‘The only way to get the valuable oil out of the olives is to press them.’- Joel Osteen

Challenges are good for growth. If you are not willing to challenge yourself,

if you are not willing to prepare yourself for greatness, if you are not willing to change your mind,

you are not willing to succeed. You are not going to move your life forward.

To succeed, you must press yourself. You must challenge yourself.

Why We Need Mindful Leaders

‘A mindful leader embodies leadership presence by cultivating focus, clarity, creativity, and compassion in the service of others.

Leadership presence is a tangible quality. It requires full and complete non judgmental attention in the present moment. Those around a mindful see and feel that presence.’- Janice Marturano

We need mindful leaders because they know what we are going through in life. They know how to connect with people. They are not just leading people. They are also leading themselves. They know when to act. They know when to respond. They don’t react to things. Instead, mindful leaders respond to things.

Above all, mindful leaders know where they are going. And they know when to say, ‘enough is enough.’
