Our view of the world has little to do with what we see in others, but more to do with our personal character and growth in this life. If you want a better world…. start by becoming a better YOU…

The only truly important steps in life are those that are led by an INNER YEARNING to grow BEYOND selfish ambitions. The moment we don't need validation is the moment we are FREE to pursue our purpose WITHOUT RESTRAINT.

There is NO glory in CONTEMPT, NO honor in DECEIPT and NO success born from EGO. The success of most is merely an ILLUSION for self-glorification. The TRULY virtuous will see beyond the facades and embrace a life FREE from such vain concepts. They will pursue that which they know is a RIGHT of every soul, and acknowledge its potential in EVERYONE ELSE.

When overcoming obstacles makes you feel BETTER than others; you have approached life incorrectly. The purpose of OBSTACLES serves as life's HUMBLING MOMENTS that remind us we are INATELY CAPABLE to SUCCEED no matter the flaws and vices we may have. The "LESSON" should teach you that EVERYONE has this ability inside themselves; we just rarely exercise the VIRTUES in our nature.

It's not always about a person's resources, nor their knowledge on a thing that makes them valuable. Their worth is defined in their ability to EXECUTE and DELIVER a desired result from THOUGHT into a set of MEASURABLE ACTIONS or BENEFITS.

Leadership is more than being at the head of some ambiguous table. Most times, if done correctly, the leader BUILDS the table, SETS the table, SERVES at the table and CLEANS the table. There's no space for "Lazy" in leadership, but a REQUIREMENT to PRIORITIZE WITHOUT EMOTION for the BEST INTEREST OF THE TEAM is CRITICAL!

Be careful of those who expect MUCH without proper obligation to meet THE SAME expectations. No matter your position, any request REQUIRES EQUAL COMMITTMENT from BOTH PARTIES.

Dreams are for those who see BEYOND the everyday hustle to PURSUE something LARGER than themselves. There are always individuals who have FAILED or GIVEN UP on their goals for whatever reasons, and they choose to shoot down other's dreams and ambitions because they feel INSUFFICIENT to FULFILL THEIR OWN. Never let ANYONE tell you to GIVE UP or PUSH AWAY from those things you feel you CAN and have the WILL to accomplish; even when the CIRCUMSTANCES seem in opposition to it.

The advantages we take for granted will many times unknowingly determine our character and outlook in life; though most days we only see the extreme and noticeable events that shape our life views. Which has more weight is determined by the ability of a person to acknowledge ALL ASPECTS of those things influencing their personal development. #EyesOpen

Some moments are made to PUSH US into a position where reflecting on one's SELF is the ONLY OPTION. They happen right before the CRITICAL MOMENTS, almost like an alarm letting you know SOMETHING MUST CHANGE.
