The Secret of Being You

Be yourself at all times but never be completely satisfied with who or what you are.

Six Secret Rules for Followers

1. Walk beside those who are empowered to lead others and not behind them.

2. Trust their authority but not implicitly.

3. Always question the actions of those who lead others and dare to challenge their authority when their actions are not in the best interests of everyone.

4. If those who lead are allowed to be transparent, they will deceive you.

5. Hold those who lead others accountable, instead. This is the real burden of leadership.

6. Repay the accountability of those who lead with guarded loyalty and an inquisitive mind. This is the real burden of citizenship.

If you squander the present, you will regret the past.

Skeleton Key

The search for everlasting life begins with the here and now.

Recognize the beauty and the opportunities presented to you each and every day and appreciate the world around you. When you seize the day, you not only secure tomorrow, you guarantee the day after.

Only then will you find that the key to eternity is hidden inside the moment.
