Here's an abbreviated list of reminders I have kept in my wallet for a long time:
Be an honorable man.
Be respectful.
Be true to yourself.
Be bold.
Be a leader.
Patiently endurance.
Quiet confidence. Strength.
NEVER lose your cool.
Actions >>>>>> words.
It is never the wrong time to do the right thing.
A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - MLK Jr.
Endure well. Expect this to take a while and expect the coming emotional storms. The better prepared you are, the better chance you have at reacting in a manner that coalesces with your long term goals.
Endure well!
