    Kick-Start Your New Year

    Be a better leader … kick start your year with seven inspirational quotes.

    Be a better leader … resolve to follow our Seven Rs and lead a better life.

    1. Regard

    If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain. – Andre Maurois

    Review your essential priorities. What do you want to do in the New Year? What can you sensibly do? What is most important to you?

    2. Remove

    Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year? – Horace

    At times life is hectic. There is too much to do and to little time to do it in.

    Therefore, remove the clutter. Do what is important and put aside distraction.

    3. Reduce

    Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire. – Napoleon Hill

    What are your goals? Write them down.

    Have specific and achievable goals for self, family, work and friends.

    4. Reason

    Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person. – Albert Einstein

    Aim for just enough so you may put your energy into the things that matter.

    5. Real

    Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. – Abraham Lincoln

    Be yourself. Be true to your values and beliefs.

    6. Reflect

    Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it. – Ernest Holmes

    Slow down. Take time to reflect on life’s lessons.

    In the moment we are lost and found.

    7. Relationships

    Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family. – Joseph Brodsky

    Love what you have.
