No matter how good life has been, how successful, how many things have gone your way, we all face times when we want to start over. As leaders, men, fathers and sons, business owners, friends, mentors, peers, we mess up. A lot.
Never view a cultural challenge first through a political, emotional or economic lens. As a leader, the issue of racial division in our society is an opportunity to lead. Focus on it then, through your eyes as a leader.
Even if you have something of value to share, and you grasp the big picture of your leadership potential, and you’re ready to go the distance—there’s one nugget that needs to be in place. You’ll need to know that your life was meant to make a dent in the universe.
Everyone, at one point or another, is a loser. We all fail. Even the greatest winners in sports, in business, in life, face losses at some point. The longer you live, in fact, the more you will experience failure.
