Stick to love, it is heavy and it will carry you. Avoid hatred, it is heavy and you have to carry it. It is left to you to make your choice.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
When you give up because challenges arise, you are just too ignorant about the power of the gifts you carry within you.
Never let hatred give you an escort. It will drag your attention from all fortunes along the way.
Every talent God has hidden in you is not for your own consumption, they are for other people’s liberation.
You don’t see someone flying and you begin to bite yourself for not being able to do that. You do what you can.
Everyone appears to be courageous until bad weathers arrive, and then we know the true leaders.
When dark situations arise, it is opportunity for you to reveal the leader in you. Rise and deal with them.
Love people who hate you and their hatred won’t get grounds to gain roots.
Ballot papers don’t determine who leads; they determine who takes which position. As to whether that person occupying the position will lead or will manipulate, character must come to prove it.
Would people be excited about your departure from the earth or they would wish you should come back again and again if possible?
The leader’s commandment is made up of pledges to solve local and global problems, and not to create more problems to add to the existing ones.
A leader’s cross is the temporal pain they go through and his crown is the permanent gain when at last victory is achieved.
Don’t always complain the way isn’t there. If you can’t find the way, create it.
If you are an aspiring leader and you have not yet gone through any trouble, prepare for one. It is by going through the hard times that you become harder against the storms of life.
I was taught that the most hardworking nurse is found at the dirtiest part of the clinical ward.
People who swim very well in troubled waters are respected and celebrated than those who swim excellently in calm waters.
People who run away from challenges are cowards and no coward deserves a reward.
Don’t complain of terrible circumstances. It has been proven several times that they are the sources of celebrated trophies.
The strongest storms make the best sailors. The strongest games make the best players. Tougher challenges make the best leaders.
Leadership is about taking people from a good place to a better place where they would not regret to be.
When the leader grows, the organization grows.
When the leader goes wayward, the organization goes wayward.
This is an everyday question and you must take note of it always. When you wake up, it should be among your number one thoughts. What are you doing for others?
Don’t wait for someone else to do it so you enjoy. You can’t do it yourself. Just try it.
No one has the right to pee on your dreams!
Whatever you want is behind the mountain of struggles. Nothing great comes with ease.
Don’t reduce your impacts to match what you earn.
The active minority in the world is the fraction that makes the world a better place for the passive majority.
A person with passion will not look somewhere to see who is not doing it, they will focus and do what they can.
You don’t need a huge number of people with little passions to get a good job done. You rather need few people with huge passion.
Leaders make impacts. If your riches don’t help you to make impacts, you aren’t leading anyone; rather, money is leading you.
You missed it when you pay more attention to the damaged car in the mechanic shop than the sick human being in the hospital.
Leaders know how to set priorities. They focus on the task that requires the most rapid attention.
Whatever comes to you in a cheap way will vanish in a cheap way. Be patient and earn it the hard way.
Avoid trying to win tough battles on the silver platter. If the struggle is tough the success is sweet.
Develop the muscles for hard work and never be an early quitter.
Leaders face battles. They don’t run away from troubles.
Whatever you are waiting for won’t come to you, you have to go for it.
If you’re going to give up after few attempts, bear it in mind that your struggles are going to be wasted.
Most times, the way isn’t clear, but you want to start anyway. It is in starting with the first step that other steps become clearer.
