There is power born of humility . . . Humility, in business and in life, is a powerful asset and does not denote lowliness, unimportance, or self-deprecation.

The way to be irreplaceable is to become a social innovator. Start projects that motivate you to save the world and simultaneously make you money (and create mindshare) for your company. Social innovation makes magic happen.

Don't wait to be compelled to do great work.

START: Serve, Thank, Ask, Receive, Trust

Trust. And be trusted.

Never trust a person that tries to sell you by how righteous they are. I'm telling your right now, it's a scam.

Accepting that life is insane, that bad things happen to good people and that you can find the courage to be grateful for the good in every situation and still move forward is hard (even terrifying), but heroic.

Overcome the prideful need to measure your worth by how much more successful you are than others, by operating from a core belief grounded in abundance.

Believing there is a bridge from where you are to where you want to go is 99% of the battle. The other 1% is to cross it.

Dreams hit the fan? Life unexpectedly take a turn for the worst? Here__ what you do:First thing I think is to realize God didn__ do this to you. It__ just life.Second, know that it sucks. It does.Third, it__ a tunnel not a cave.Fourth, it still sucks.Fifth, it__ not hopeless. Assign meaning to it. Choose for these horrible things to bring you closer to family and god and not farther apart.Praying for you

You can__ let fear and indecision sink your creativity__hey do not easily release their hold.

The willingness to be a champion for stupid ideas is the key to greater creativity, innovation, fulfillment, inspiration, motivation and success.

If everyone waited to become an expert before starting, no one would become an expert. To become an EXPERT, you must have EXPERIENCE. To get EXPERIENCE, you must EXPERIMENT! Stop waiting. Start stuff.

Creativity is at the heart of every stupid idea . . . creativity and stupid are interchangeable . . . because everything inherent to that kind of creativity requires breaking away from the norm, going against the grain, and leaning into risk and fear.

A little conflict can create a lot of creativity.

Companies preach creativity, hire for conformity and call consultants when they fail who tell them to be more creative.

Want creativity? Diversify your experience to develop your creative muscles.

You gotta make it a priority to make your priorities a priority.
