Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself. It’s thinking of yourself less. You must know there is always more to learn but don’t forget to be confident in what you’ve done. Being cocky or insecure will lead to inadequate results, we strive for quiet confidence. 

Leadership is not a position. It’s an action each and everyone one of us takes every moment of everyday. Every position on a team must commit to active leadership. In the military this is called decentralized command. Higher ups may create the plan but the solider breaking down doors is in charge once the boots hit the ground.

Growth comes from hunger. Literally and figuratively. You must have the drive to want more. Where ever you’re at now, will not do. You must have the passion to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and strive for excellence.

Most people seek motivation to get work done and motivation is needed from time to time. But a disciplined person doesn’t wait for external motivation. They have an internal mechanism and that is disciple. They don’t wake up search for motivation to go to the gym. They get up and go to the gym because they are the kind of person that gets things done.  

This sounds simple but is severely important. If you’re not happy doing what you do, you will eventually stop. And by happy we don’t mean easy. Happiness should come from meaning. And we can only find meaning in growth. There will be tough times but it’s to build a happy life. You should show up every day, happy to be here, happy to help.

Lastly commitment, all of the values above only work if you commit with every inch of your being. Any hesitation will result in no result. Having the confidence to completely commit is required to win. So many people start something and go half in. Then wonder why it didn’t work. It doesn’t matter if its your relationship, your work or your family. Full commitment is required to be the best.
