Your desire determines for your destiny.
- Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire creates little heat.
- The stronger your fire, the greater the desire – and the greater the potential.
There is no substitute for passion. It is fuel for the will.
- If you want anything badly enough, you can find the willpower to achieve it.
- The only way to have that kind of desire is to develop passion.
If you follow your passion – instead of others’ perceptions – you can’t help becoming a more dedicated, productive person.
- And that increases your ability to impact others.
- In the end, your passion will have more influence than your personality.
Human beings are so made that whenever anything fires that soul, impossibilities vanish. A fire in the heart lifts everything in your life.
- That’s why passionate leaders are so effective.
- A leader with great passion and few skills always outperforms a leader with great skills and no passion.
- You can’t start a fire in your organization unless one is first burning in you.
- Birds of a feather really do flock together. If you’ve lost your fire, get around some firelighters.
- “Many of life’s failure are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

“Most unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself rather than talking to yourself. What kind of voices do you hear?
- When you meet people, do you tell yourself they’ll let you down?
- When you face new experiences, does a voice in your head say you’re going to fail?
The best way to retrain your attitude is to prevent your mind from going down any negative forks in the road.
- If you ‘re hearing negative messages, you need to learn to give yourself positive mental pep talks.
- “The thing that separates good players from great ones is mental attitude.”
The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives.
- No leader can simultaneously have his head in the sand and navigate his people through troubled waters.
- Never try to solve all the problems at once – make them line up for you one-by-one.
Effective leaders understand the peak-to-peak principle.
- They make major decisions when they are experiencing a positive swing in their leadership, not during the dark times.
