Every Thursday, we provide you with a thoughtful way to coach yourself – something all leaders need to do. So take five and enjoy the inspirational quotes and reflect on the questions that follow. 

“Ultimately, man is not subject to the conditions that confront him; rather, these conditions are subject to his decision. Wittingly or unwittingly, he decides whether he will face up or give in, whether or not he will let himself be determined by the conditions.” From Prisoners of Our Thoughts by Alex Pattakos, Ph.D.

• What conditions are you currently allowing to determine you?
  • Will you face up or give in to these conditions?
• How can you mindfully and proactively decide about conditions that confront you in the future?
