Reflection

The human brain is truly fascinating. Research shows that, on average, we experience between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts every day. Each thought strengthens and solidifies the network of neural pathways in our brain, similar to how a well-worn hiking trail flattens the more it's walked.

Part of becoming a great leader is learning how to mind our mind. Maturing requires a continual cycle of removing, renewing, and resetting our thoughts. Over time, new pathways are created, and our minds transform.

What thoughts will you prioritize?

Forget the path to fear; forge the path to faith.
Forget the path to doubt; forge the path to purpose.
Forget the path to stress; forge the path to peace.
