The True Leader's Creed ~ One of my Favorites

The True Leader's Creed

I am committed to being a True Leader
That's it from this day forward.
My Choice is irreversible
I fear not the unknown.
I will do whatever it takes.

I won't look back, let up, slow down, or back away.

I am finished and done with average living, small
planning, fruitless dreams, wishful thinking,
small talk, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured,
lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.

I will stand firm and hold my ground
in the face of sacrifice,
not hesitate in the presence of challenges,
not back down on the field of battle or
allow popularity to interfere with my purpose.

I will set an example, be the example and lead by
example. I will not look left, nor will I look right,
for I will always look up.

I will never settle for less than the best that I am.
My integrity and honesty will never be compromised.
I will be true to my own convictions,
whistle my own tune through my own lips
and march to the sound of my own drums.

I have committed to being...A True Leader.
