Three Minute Leadership: Thoughts for a Magnificent and Wondrous Journey
To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning
On November 28, 2012 the Los Angeles Time headline news read: “Zig Ziglar dies at 86; motivational speaker inspired millions.” Ziglar was a great man and teacher, who changed the lives of millions through his books and public speaking. At the beginning of this magnificent New Year let us pause a moment to reflect on Ziglar’s gifts to us.
“You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”
“Every choice you make has an end result.”
“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”
“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
“If you want to reach a goal, you must ‘see the reaching’ in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.”
“It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.”
“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”
“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it.”
May you fill your life with purpose, conviction and vision of what can be and who you will choose to become. Live every moment of your precious life with passion, unbridled enthusiasm and joy. Act to realize your dreams. Look at the world through new eyes – to find the undiscovered and infinite possibilities it offers. Serve others that they, too, may find their greatness. Continue to learn, grow and stretch yourself… to be more than they ever dreamed you could be… and more… so much more. On your journey, remember Ziglar’s counsel to great leaders: “If you can dream it, then you can achieve it.” Life is so very beautiful.
Have a beautiful day, a fantastic week and a joyous, magnificent New Year!!!
