In the Gift Great Leaders Give by Roy Vaden, he explains that people do not need help being realistic, what they need is help to believe in themselves and to chase their dreams. By supporting and pushing those to do this they will ultimately have more confidence which will lead to greater and greater success. In Burning and Building Bridges by Scott Mabry he explains that leaders accelerate both beginnings and endings. We have to live for the day but plan for tomorrow and be able to adjust to the circumstances accordingly. After reading both blog posts I believe that leadership is a lifelong characteristic that you have to continue to build and grow.

Of the 13 items, 3 stood out to me that I could really connect with. In order to be successful you have to give up the unhealthy habits. You will never find success by eating/drinking poorly, and not taking care of your body. in order to become successful we must get rid of and stop using excuses. Excuses will get you no where but the wrong direction. The final point that really stood out to me is that we have to get rid of our fixed mindsets. If we broaden our mind and what we can do then we can accomplish anything we work at in life. The quote "On your last day on earth, the person you became, will meet the person you could of become."

After someone tears you down, there is several ways you can pick yourself back up. Forgiving yourself in whatever you did is a major key to finding happiness and success once again. I highly agree because if you don't forgive yourself you will never be able to pick yourself back up. I also think we should have empathy for the other party because not everyone always means what they say when they are angry. I see this in every day life and people have to learn to forgive others and move on. I highly believe in Elanor Roosevelt's quote because we do gain strength courage and confidence in every experience we are able to overcome whether it is good or bad. We are ready to take on the next challenge because we have been able to get through experiences no matter how severe they are. Jae Kim's story inspired me because even though he felt out of place he decided to be himself and interact as anyone would because everyone is different. He overcame his fear and picked himself back up to become stronger and more successful.
In Evaluate Where You Are, Zig Ziglar makes 8 points in order to be successful in life. The points include happiness, health, being reasonably prosperous, security, friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope.

Embracing change, being confident, and embracing failure are the three points I connect with in this article because they are the three things that I need to work on most to better myself. I believe that working on these three things will ultimately lead me to be more mentally tough.

He said he needs to work on saying no in which he agrees with people to much, and being relentlessly positive even in the worst of situations. I believe we can all learn from this article to learn how to be more mentally tough, successful, and happy in life.
The two points I connected with for having a passion throughout life include listening to yourself and defining success for yourself. Listening to yourself is very important because if your not listening to yourself then your going through the same constant every day motion. Defining success for yourself is also very important because if you cant define your own success then you cant create your own dreams. I believe that we can all learn from this article by John C Maxwell because it defines to principles to find happiness and success in your life.
It is important to be a student of your own life to study the positive and negative aspects about yourself, learning from failure, and reading books on those who have done successful things in their life. By studying the positive and negative aspects about yourself you can the flaws in your life and what you need to do to be a more successful person. By analyzing and addressing your failures you can see what you are doing wrong and what you need to do to get back on a track of success. I also believe reading books on the success of others is important because it will help guide what you need to do to conquer your dreams, and find success and happiness in your life. I believe we can all learn from this article by Jim Rohn because it shows each and every one of us what we need to do to be better people.

I highly agree with his quote that successful people are simply those with successful habits because doing positive, successful things will lead you on a path to create more success. In my future I will remember and pay attention to this quote because success does not happen overnight, it happens through hard work, positivity, and perseverance to do better. Overall I think we can all learn from this quote because it will ultimately drive each and every one us to strive for bigger things.

That's success." — Zig Ziglar3/14/2017 This quote by Zig Ziglar is very important because turning something your not good at into something you can do with ease is hard work which will ultimately lead you to success in your life.
