“We are in the habit of imagining our lives to be linear, a long march from birth to death in which we mass our powers, only to surrender them again, all the while slowly losing our youthful beauty. This is a brutal untruth. Life meanders like a path through the woods. We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again.”

― Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

I. Leading Beyond the Status Quo

Look beyond what is into what can be as you empower those you lead with grace, enthusiasm, courage, humility, innovation, and creativity.

Transformational leaders and positive difference makers:

  • Learn to allow their team to discover who they are.

  • Understand it is not what they know instead what they can get their team to believe in and buy into.

  • Realize asking their team where they want to be five years from now might be the most important question they will ever ask them.

II. When Preparation Meets Opportunity

There are 3 primary drivers of results in life:

  1. Your luck (randomness).

  2. Your strategy (choices).

  3. Your actions (habits).

Only 2 of the 3 are under your control. But if you master those 2, you can improve the odds that luck will work for you rather than against you.

III. Mastering the Moment

Gentle reminders to live fully and presently no matter the circumstances:

  • Opportunities and obstacles live in the same neighborhood.

  • Our life is no better than the relationship we have with our pasts and minds.

  • The ability to see the bright side and lessons of a seemingly hopeless situation becomes true mental toughness + emotional maturity.

  • What we give our attention to grows. The choice is within our control, where we put that focus.
