If Your Vision Is Only About Yourself, You Are Too Narrowly Focused

Jesse Lyn Stoner Blog

If your vision is only about yourself, you are too narrowly focused. If you take only from your environment and contribute nothing in return, you are harming that which supports you.

Don’t Leave Your Heart at Home

Persuasive Powerhouse

. Some of the leaders I know admit that they are a different person at home than they are at work. When I ask them to describe themselves in each place, I find that they describe a more genuine, heart-centered person at home. At work, they say they tend to be more reserved and cerebral. Do you see yourself in this? I think this divided behavior is a shame.

Habit, Emotion, and Decision-making - 3 Paths to Action

Building Personal Strength

I am biased towards action. I have a PhD and 95% of what I know today I learned on my own after earning that degree. So seemingly my head is full of knowledge. Some people have used the word "wisdom," and that's probably true, too. But none of this wonderful knowledge ingrained in my prefrontal cortex is worth anything unless it leads to action. In the end, what matters is not what I think about something, but what I do about it.
