Beauty begins in the moment you decide to be yourself.
Showing up is 80 percent of life.
Dream Big. Start small. Act now.
Cut your excuses in half and double your actions around your goals.
Fill your brain with giant dreams so it has no space for petty pursuits.
Every master was once a beginner. Every pro was once an amateur.
There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.
The greatest things in life all require commitment, sacrifice, some struggle and hardship. It’s not easy. But absolutely worth it.
Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.
Basically, to lead without a title is to derive your power within the organisation not from your position but from your competence, effectiveness, relationships, excellence, innovation and ethics.
Leadership is no longer about position – but passion. It’s no longer about image but impact. This is Leadership 2.0.
Always give your best and try to figure out how to do an even better job.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.
You’ve got to follow that dream, wherever that dream may lead.
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.
When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival.
Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.
I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.
