I. You don't have to, you get to

You will never build something great with an attitude of obligation.

‍

II. If you want a harvest, fall in love with the work

Building vision for the long term starts with putting in work in the short term.

‍

III. Seasons of struggle squeeze out strength

Often the best outcomes are birthed out of opposition.

It's not a question of if you will face challenges, it's simply a matter of when. Leadership is defined in the in-between moments — the hardships, setbacks, re-routes, and momentary hurdles along the way. If you find yourself navigating one of these moments today consider that the way out is through. It can be tempting to avoid the struggle, but if you'll lean into the stretch I believe you'll find strength and growth for yourself and your teams.
