Every time we hear or see someone successful we only see the secondary greatness, the byproduct of primary greatness which is all the hard work behind the scenes.

This important lesson of staying on the true north had an important impact on me as we are vulnerable to being distracted. The value of having an aligned vision with a shared value system based on principles is critical.
By continually evaluating how we see the world and being open to changing our perspectives is the only way to grow and develop our character.
