LEADERSHIP

Michael Jordan said, "earn your leadership each and every day. Winning has a price and leadership has a price. I pulled people along when they didn't want to be pulled. I challenged people when they didn't want to be challenged. Talent wins games, but teamwork wins championships. Great leadership is positive leadership. Positive leadership empowers people to face their fears, accomplish their goals and realize their dreams." Don Shula said, "my responsibility is leadership, and the minute I get negative, that's going to have a negative influence on my team." Learn more about your ad choices.

HUMILITY

Chuck D. of Public Enemy said, "Don't believe the hype," and TS Eliot said, "The only wisdom we can hope to acquire is the wisdom of humility." Humility, in its simplest sense, is the ability to consider others ahead of oneself. CS Lewis said, humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself LESS, and Albert Einstein said, a true genius admits they know nothing. Humility doesn't mean that we're not confident. Like yin and yang, we must be truly content and confident with who we are, in order to humbly be of service to others.

BALANCE

Balance is the state of Stillwater. It remains quiet within and is not disturbed on the surface. Everything in life contains two opposites, and to maintain balance, we need to find a way to work harmoniously with both sides. In Chinese philosophy, this balance is referred to as yin & yang. Are we balancing our life, or is stress taking its toll. To find balance in our lives, we must prioritize what we know is most important to us. Finding balance in life is imagined by many as juggling five balls. Each of the balls is representing important parts of our lives, family, health, spirituality, friends, in our job, four balls are made of glass, and only one of them is made of rubber. We need to recognize that our job is the rubber ball, family, friends, health and spirituality are all very fragile. And if we drop them, they will be irreversibly damaged or even shattered.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

The Zen principle of simplicity is about understanding the true essence of things and then distilling them down to their most fundamental form. It isn't about removal for the sake of cleanliness or minimalism. But focus is the principle of simplicity on purpose and utility. Jack Kerouac said, One day, I will find the right words, and they will be simple. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
