There are certain things that are fundamental to human fulfillment. The essence of these needs is captured in the phrase ‘to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy’.
If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more, then, you
are an excellent leader.
- Dolly Parton

Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To risk for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest risk is to risk nothing.
People who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, grow, or love.
Chained by their uncertainties, they are slaves.
They have forfeited their freedom.
Only people who take risks are free.
All great achievements require time. — Maya Angelou: is an American Poet

Read more...A family mission statement is... meant to be the literal constitution of your family life. And just as the United States Constitution has survived for more than two hundred sometimes turbulent years, your family constitution can be the foundational document that will unify and hold your family together for decades - even generations - to come....
By creating and living by a mission statement, families are gradually able to build moral authority in the family itself. In other words, principles get built right into the very structure and culture of the family, and everyone comes to realize that principles are at the center of the family and are the key to keeping the family strong, together, and committed to its destination. Then the mission statement becomes like the Constitution of the United States - the ultimate arbiter of every law and statute. The principles upon which it is based and the value systems that flow out of those principles create a social will that is filled with moral or ethical authority.
If you are planning for the year, grow rice.
If you are planning for the decade, grow trees.
If you are planning for the centuries, grow men and women.
- Chinese Proverb
