Leadership in Small Bites - 4.0: Lessons in Leadership - One Bite at a Time

Imagine yourself many years from now, reflecting on your life and saying: "I regret nothing I have done, or have not done, as I was in control of my own life..." What would need to change for you to get to that point? Albert Ellis (founder of modern behavior therapy) once said "The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny." Let Wise Sages take you on a journey of self-exploration and self-improvement by using the life of a fighter pilot as metaphor, to expose yourself to inspirational stories, poems and quotes with only one thought in mind: to help you develop skills and dispositions related to General Wisdom, Leadership and Personal Development, Courage, and Success. Life in Small Bites has reflection areas in 'workbook' style in which you write down thoughts as well as answer questions to help you move on from where you were before to where you want to go. "The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations." - Benjamin Disraeli Did you know that it is not the event that has you behave in a certain manner, but rather the way you think and reflect on an event? Many people know exactly what they need to do to improve their lives, but unfortunately their brain play mind-tricks that get them stuck in negative thinking. In such cases, it is better to take small bites out of life by doing what you know is good, and by following the path in Small Bites, you will learn how to adapt your thinking to unexpected events. Reading Small Bites will not cure anxiety, self-doubt, despair, shingles, halitosis, or provide you with a 50% paycheck raise. Rather, it will provide you with the knowledge and insights that will help prevent the emergence of these symptoms of negative and stressed behavior in the future. Knowing what to do but not doing it leads you on the path towards defeat. Not knowing what to do is fine, as you are open to learning how to improve your situation. Small Bites can be your guide to help you going from "what you know to do" to the positive behavior of learning "what to do". Today is the last day of the first of your life. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. - Anonymous Act Today, and Start Improving Your Life one Small Bite at the time.
