Leaders are aware that..

Credible leaders don't insult, manipulate, or humiliate anyone publicly or privately. These leaders are aware that respect is key in gaining people's loyalty and respect in return.

Try to be where you are right now. Try to make the most of those moments you have, because if you live in the past, you're dealing with regret.

Worry...

The less you worry about it, the less you think about it.

Tony Robbins on public speaking...

If you're nervous about public speaking, stop thinking about yourself. As long as you're thinking about yourself, ie: how am I doing?, am I doing well or not?, all of the sudden you are filled with stress and you're disconnected with the audience. Instead, if you're entire focus is: what are they feeling?, what are they experiencing? how do I serve them?, then insights will come to you. Motive does matter. If your motive is to control the room, you'll feel like a manipulator and you're not going to control the room. Your motive should be to serve, to do something that is higher than just you. Your vision has to be larger than you. - Tony Robbins

If you have an idea that keeps coming back...

If you have an idea or feeling that keeps coming back to you, make it happen. When an idea keeps coming back, it's for a reason. Take action and follow the ideas that flood your mind. Million-dollar ideas are a dime a dozen, but it's only one in a million who follow through with their ideas.

We're all in this together. When you give the world the best you have, the best comes back to you. Be good to people. Popularity fades, kindness does not.

Go after what you want...

If you don't take the chance or risk it now... when will you? Time will always be hard to find. Start now and go after what you want, or wait for later and hope that later isn't too late.
