Leadership with a Soul

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Only a present that builds and creates itself as the past withdraws.

There is a point of no return,
unremarked at the time, in most lives.

Graham Greene

The only real failure is the failure to try. And the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment. As we always must. We are here, and we tried. All of us, in our different ways. Can we be blamed for feeling too afraid of disappointment to start it all again?
We get up every morning, we do our best. Nothing else matters.

But it’s also true that the person who risks nothing, does nothing; has nothing. All we know about the future is that it will be different.  But, perhaps what we fear is that it will be the same.  So, we must celebrate the changes. Because, as someone once said
“Everything will be all right in the end.  And if it’s not all right, then trust me, it’s not yet the end.”

Life will let you get away with something for a while,
but sooner or later, you will pay the price.
Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience.
When you get the bill, be prepared to pay.

Iyanla Vanzant

There is no elevator to success;
you have to take the stairs.

I went looking for my dreams outside of myself and discovered,
it’s not what the world holds for you, it’s what you bring to it.

Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
