Excerpt from my soon to be released second book.

Believing in yourself is not an exercise in stroking your ego. Believing in your ideas is not about being uncritical or avoiding the sometimes painful process of self-reflection. Instead, believing in yourself is about believing in your core values, about the things that make your life meaningful. Together, these values form a central purpose in your life. They guide the decisions you make about what to do or not to do. – From my soon to be released book on Leadership, Values and Purpose.
