"To stop learning is to stop growing. Always remain teachable." It is interesting to think about teachability as it relates to pride and how pride can be the killer of teachability if we are not careful.

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

It is so important to identify and overcome the fears that are holding you back. Mark Twain said "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, no absence of fear."

Maya Angelou said, “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” Never has courageous leadership been more needed.

Practice only makes for improvement. - Les Brown If you strive to get better, you must practice.

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

In this 7th episode of "Lessons from the Lightkeeper," the focus is on the importance of practice. Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Practice is the "little bit more" that separates great leaders.

Tony Robbins said "Where focus goes energy flows" - how true is this statement?

[Dr. Rob Jackson @Dr_Rob_Jackson]

“Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body and soul into something as is possible.”

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

"Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate." - Jon Bon Jovi

An EdLeader's passion is the source of their energy. It propels them forward. The power of passion in great leaders cannot be denied.
