Rule #111 2/04/16

You Are Greater Than You Think. 

Leadership and greatness aren't qualities that people are necessarily born with; often times they're earned after a lifetime of hard work and diligence. When faced with overwhelming odds or critical failures, it's easy to lose sight of your aspirations, but great leaders don't give in to that temptation. They work tirelessly to overcome any challenge and hardship. The greatest leaders don't just move past an issue, they find meaning in it, and use it to their advantage.

When you face a challenge, you can't just look at how it's limiting you; you have to look at how it changes you, how it empowers you and how it could change you for the better. Great leaders learn to use the hardships as fuel for the journey ahead. As you rise in life you will eventually face failure after failure and often times experience disappointment in people and situations- but it will be your choice to overcome those hardships and improve yourself in the process or quit and allow the experience to defeat you and your spirit. Every obstacle, and every failure, is just another step toward your ultimate destination: success. In an endless sky of opportunity choose to fly - choose to be extraordinary. ~Will "Story" Rivera
