Values Quotes – Dan Rockwell on Values

Today’s quote is from Dan Rockwell, a popular blogger who writes on leadership, under the banner Leadership Freak.

I recently read a great quote from Rockwell:
“People without values feel pushed around by circumstance.”

I love this quote because it speaks to the heart of what I’m trying to promote: know yourself, know your values, and know your purpose.

If you are crystal clear on your mission and vision, and the values aligned to help you fulfill it, then nothing external – no circumstances – will cause you to waiver.

There will always be those who will criticize you. There will always be reasons why you should stop doing what you’re doing. There will always be circumstances ready to push you around.

Great leaders can’t be pushed around. They are focused, determined, and never let any circumstances to stand in the way of fulfilling their purpose. They embrace their values and leverage them to push through all circumstances.

And you can too!
