Big people make you bigger. Small people make you smaller.
Everything that you want and need is outside your comfort zone.
A crisis gets you to jump out of your comfort zone.
Take advantage of the detour. We can't find our way back to normal because normal is gone.
Crisis never leaves us the same.
No one has ever drifted to a desired location.
We can either lead our life or accept our life.
Success is not so much what we've attained in life, but what we have overcome in life.
A crisis reveals who the real leaders are.
The five values of resilience.
1. It understands life is difficult.
Its in the difficulty that you become who you are. However, we don't like hard. Easy has never helped me.
Everything worthwhile is uphill. If you really what to lead, you must be willing to grind. (William Booth)
When I'm resistant to what I can't control, it wears me down. If I'm resilient, it polishes me.
Expect the unexpected, and expect to deal with it.
Me being comfortable is not important to God. God is not drawn to wimps.
God didn't tell me that it would be easy, but He said that He would be with me.
2. It provides us better leadership opportunities.
If your looking at opportunities, you'll never find it.
We must be looking for problems. See the problem. You'll see the opportunity.
When you can afford to quit, you can't afford to quit.
3. It keeps us focused on today.
Resilience is many short races not one long race.
Do what you need to do today. Be the right person today. Stay in the moment.
4. Requires us to be creative.
There is always an answer; however, we loss that conviction.
The best things come out of our creativity. We've got to make half time adjustments.
5. It underlines our values.
You find out if your beliefs and values are solid.
Values that haven't been tested cannot be trusted. Values must be tested in bad times.
