“There is a huge difference between aspiring to be our best selves and claiming to be perfect. One is a journey of fulfillment, the other is a lie we tell ourselves and others. Good leaders know that their people will only truly thrive, not when they are pushed to be perfect, but when they are encouraged to be their natural best.”

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.”

“Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”

“The temptation is strong to remain in the Zone of Excellence; it’s where your own addiction to comfort wants you to stay. It’s also where your family, friends, and organization want you to stay. You’re reliable there, and you provide a steady supply of all the things that family, friends, and organizations thrive on. The problem is that a deep, sacred part of you will wither and die if you stay inside your Zone of Excellence.”
― Gay Hendricks, The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level
