•Can you forgive those who have helped you get off-course?

•Can you forgive those who have been hypocritical?

•Can you forgive people for being less than perfect?

•Can you forgive yourself for being imperfect?

•Can you forgive someone for lying?

•Can you forgive someone who may do exactly what they did wrong, again?

Perhaps the question is not “Can you?”
Maybe the real question is “Will you?”

     •they remain focused on the future
     •they value new ideas and embrace change
     •they reinvent themselves intentionally
     •they don’t execute new ideas prematurely
     •they have created a sticky community
     •they value loyalty and prove it
     •they don’t make assumptions of impossibilities
     •they create products that amplify your individuality
     •they don’t sell their products for less than they’re worth

Does your organization intentionally choose to possess these traits?
Success is a choice.

What changes would make you more excellent than you already are?
What one change, if made, could put you over the top?
