Self-discovery is the process of understanding your true self: your values, your needs and wants. It is an ongoing process of stripping away that which is unimportant, reviewing your core values, and seeking to live a better life.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you but by
the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you but
by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Self-discovery is the audacious act of choosing to no longer be driven by the wounds of the past.Winners fall but they don’t stay down. They stubbornly refuse to let a fall keep them from climbing. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
"Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are
great only if they are determined to be so."- Charles De Gaulle
Many people believe ambition is an inherited quality that is present at birth. In reality, ambition (or lack of ambition) is a personal choice. Your role as a leader is even more important than you might imagine.
Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human
enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to
absorb the pain, and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.
This implies confidence come not from always being right but not
fearing to be wrong. Self-image is the mental picture you have of yourself. It is not
fixed, it is not objective, it can be changed and you can change it.
Positive thinking is important but the way you behave is important too.
A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.
What some great men have to say:
"What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and
it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which
he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until
he finds it."–Alexander Graham Bell
"Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of
drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory." –Ghandi
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will
not; … Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan
"press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human
race."–John Calvin Coolidge
