It Takes Big Character to do Big Things

Anytime I find myself in a rush to get to the point where I am larger than life, I am humbled by the thought that I may not be able to handle everything tied to that success once I get there. I by no means lack confidence in myself, its more so that I realize that in order to handle success you must have even greater humility to remain successful. I read and even see many stories of successful men who let power go to their heads and end up falling very hard as a result. This reminds me to be patient on the road to greatness and let true character permeate throughout my entire being before rushing to make a name for myself. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with being a person of influence and the standards we must live by are very strict. It's no easy task to lead others and it's an even harder task to lead them in a direction that is right. True character is probably one of the top 3 assets a leader can have and it does not come overnight.
