Leadership Value of the Day

So I want to start something new that I am already doing on my social media sites. It is a leadership value of the day. Just my take on the things you have to go through to be great, as a leader. So here is the first post on this blog, with many more to come, I hope you guys enjoy.

Leadership value of the day: Prepared through Adversity No one just wakes up great. Endowed with skills they did not have the night before. Greatness is achieved through diligent preparation and struggle. It is only with practice that we are prepared to seize and opportunity once it has presented itself. If we don't practice then we will never be prepared to act on any given situation. This is a fundamental block of building to greatness. This is not just practice when you feel like it or when you want to it is going hard at your craft everyday, making a way to push forward when you think you have nothing left and the tank is empty. That leads us to the second part of the value for the day. ADVERSITY. Most people when they meet adversity they run. It gets too hard and they quite, they feel the resistance pushing back and they give in. That is why most people never become great. They settle, they give up, the are happy with just good enough. I can only tell you from my own experiences that once you give up it takes 10 times the energy to get back in the game. It takes 20 time the dedication, and it takes something that you can't measure. FAITH. Adversity forges you like steal. Purifies you like fire to gold, and solidifies you like pressure for Coal that is meant to be a diamond. However it only works if you push through it. You can be a great leader but first you must conquer your own trials, face them and move through them, and you can only be truly prepared through adversity.
