Transition - Leadership - Grief - Life & Aliveness

Transition

“Making choice, creating change. Owning the choice to alter your situation professionally, privately and geographically. Who do you want to be? The choice is yours to develop, evolve, to grow. Who owns your metamorphosis, your passage, your passing? Do you need to  realign, to shift, to transform? Who does your transition belong to? What are you going to do when you get there?”  - Theresa Norris

Leadership

“Most leadership programs begin with a description of the attributes of the leader -- a leader has vision, a leader has courage, a leader inspires others. All of that's fine; it's very important. But what's leadership really all about? To me, leadership is a journey toward wholeness. A leader's journey starts by looking inward to understand, Why am I here? What is it that I'm here to do? Before you can lead others, before you can help others, you have to discover yourself. Today a leader can't impose himself on others. He makes himself available to others. And nothing is more powerful than someone who knows who they are.”  - Joe Jaworski

Grief

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.  These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” -  Elisabeth Kuhbler Ross

Life and aliveness

“All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time - namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.” - Joseph Campbell
