KEEP REINVENTING YOURSELF.

We all go through times of uncertainty.

There are periods we don’t understand what’s happening to us, and we feel unsure of our direction.

It can make you want to give up.

But it’s often when you feel the most lost that you are forced to find your purpose.

Once you know your “why,” you can weather any storm.

You’ll still feel the wind and the waves, but you don’t lose your course.

Use the uncertainty to find your direction.

For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with John Maxwell where he shared how a difficult time taught him how to be a leader.

John C. Maxwell is a New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker who has sold more than 25 million books in fifty languages. In 2014 he was identified as the #1 leader in business by the American Management Association and the most influential leadership expert in the world by Business Insider and Inc. magazine.
