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

If some one is trying to bring you down its only because they see you as higher - their worth has not developed, they are insecure and jealous, judgmental and starving for love and attention. Souls like that spend most of their lives trying to break down others simply because they see themselves as low and unworthy. Hurt people hurt people - decide for yourself who you will choose to be: the builder or the breaker. ~Will "Story" Rivera
