Terry's Blog | Daily strategies, insights and inspiration to help you achieve your potential

Leadership

"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality, the last is to say "Thank you." In between the two, the leaders must become a servant."  -Max De Pree 

Forgiveness

Over the years, many studies have shown that holding a grudge keeps your body in a state of stress. When you practice forgiveness, your blood pressure and heart rate decrease. 

Today

Don't think about yesterday. Think about today and how you can get better. 

Look For The Good In The Poison

When something bad happens to you, say to yourself, "Oh good, I can use that to my advantage going forward."  

Education

"We receive three educations, one from our parents, one from our school masters, and one from the world. The third contradicts all that the first two teach us." -Baron De Montesquieu

                                                                        

Failures

Don't be afraid of making mistakes or failing; you learn best through failures. This is better than all the books or courses you could read or take in the world - learning by doing.

Perception

We often perceive constraints where there are none. 

Purpose

Being successful and fulfilling your life's purpose, are not at all the same issue. 

Character

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

                                                                                                                                                    -Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Purpose Driven Life

Your life is not arbitrary. It's all for a purpose. 

Now Not Later

"Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think."  -Chinese Proverb
