The secret of being wrong isn't to avoid being wrong! The secret is being willing to be wrong. The secret is realizing that wrong isn't fatal. The only thing that makes people and organizations great is their willingness to be not great along the way. The desire to fail on the way to reaching a bigger goal is the untold secret of success.

The people who skip the hard questions are in the majority, but they are not in demand.

Anyone who says failure is not an option has also ruled out innovation.

To be a superstar, you must do something exceptional. Not just survive the Dip, but use the Dip as an opportunity to create something so extraordinary that people can't help but talk about it, recommend it, and, yes, choose it.

If you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

Strategic quitting is the secret of successful organizations. Reactive quitting and serial quitting are the bane of those that strive (and fail) to get what they want. And most people do just that. They quit when it's painful and stick when they can't be bothered to quit.

Alas, there isn't a pain-free way to achieve your goals.

Things that grow don't grow forever—but that's okay, because the experiences we collect stick with us, and we get to take those experiences wherever we go.

The more important the project we take on, the more difficult it is to find certainty that our work will succeed before we begin. We can begin with this: If we failed, would it be worth the journey? Do you trust yourself enough to commit to engaging with a project regardless of the chances of success?

Those who seek out discomfort are able to make a difference!

It almost seems as though some very intentional, finely tuned plot against us intends to rob us of who we are in Christ.

Every knock is a boost.
