Calling upon our crucible moments allows us to transcend our own limitations. Those moments create completely new possibilities within each of us.

Reliance in its most basic, daily, form is being part of a group that lives by a pact: To always have each other’s backs — no matter what — so that everyone comes out future strong.

If you want a strong future: Becoming secure with insecurity is the best security you can have.

If you want to lead others into a strong future: You need to be keenly aware of how your own inner truths — biases, fears, courage, values and dreams — do or do not impact the daily work of others.

If you want a strong future: You need to get past the stories that you have told yourself and others. You need to hear the heartbeatthat’s the real you.

Me comes before we. You need to become future strong before you can help others do the same.

Your career will include thousands of opportunities to transform yourself. Many will disrupt all that you have built. Each is an opportunity to choose to be vulnerable, to let go, to be reborn.

Future strong individuals will not take on personal sacrifices, hardships and corporate crap that sidetrack them from their dreams and goals.

Future strong cultures and relationships are built upon intense 'I have your back' bonds.

Working for a company must help individuals achieve their dreams and goals more efficiently and effectively than they could achieve them elsewhere.

The biggest, toughest competition in the future will be the battle for your time and attention. Your one thing — your call to adventure — is your best tool in that battle.

Do not despair. Do not give up. Look for the sunlight through the clouds.

I hated the flashcards and I hated the multiplication tables, but I did enjoy the fact that my dad took time out of his schedule to help me in the areas in which I needed it.

Exile is not a time frame. Exile is an experience. It's a sentiment.

The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.

The spot of ground on which a man has stood is forever interesting to him.

Mankind are always found prodigal both of blood and treasure in the maintenance of public justice.

Every debt is ultimately paid, if not by the debtor, then eventually by the creditor.

Your life begins to change when you change something you do every day.

It was the kind of love that, sooner or later, cornered you into a choice: either you tore free or you stayed and withstood its rigor even as it squeezed you into something smaller than yourself.

To remain absolutely free is what a true and authentic life is. So never gather any character - remain characterless.
