This is the beginning of demise if it is that choice which is chosen.\u00a0 Great leaders, however, choose to ask themselves, their organizations and those whom they serve: what are the chains that hold us back from achieving our purpose, mission and meaning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each morning when you look into the mirror, you will see a magnificent image, one filled with infinite possibilities of greatness.
