Before going to bed it is best to end a challenging day with an inspiring video.
The decision between Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer was difficult; neither moved me at the moment, until I glanced over at . . .

“300”

Yes! I instantly felt the adrenaline and testosterone coursing through my veins.
This is the movie of all movies . . .

The ancient Battle of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. The message rang clear as Leonidas exhibited a leadership of the highest esteem while challenged by insurmountable odds. Their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece.

Don’t stop reading; see past the muscled up, barbaric, “guy-flick” impression as this is about steering the fabric of personal integrity — something we all must embrace.

The beginning of the movie reveals a profound message:
After training his son in hand-to-hand combat, King Leonidas asks, “What was today’s lesson?” The eight-year-old child responds with . . .

“Respect and honor”

Needless to say, I got goose bumps . . .
I found myself standing tall and repeating this tribal tenet.
“Respect and honor the people around you.”
“Respect and honor your possessions.”
“Respect and honor your pets and other animals.”
Most of all . . .
“Respect and honor yourself!”

What do “respect and honor” mean to you?

Can you imagine the troubled children of today growing up with this affirmation?
By embracing these two character traits, suddenly your body becomes a holy place — a temple — where commitment to eating right and fitness is a natural part of life.

Nothing can trump your deep, undying loyalty and dedication that start within and permeate every facet of your communication.
Your word becomes golden.
You become dependable.
Consistency, reliability, and trust are what you are known for, and it all begins with RESPECT and HONOR.

Note:
You CANNOT control other people’s actions, only your own.
Thus, to lead by example is leadership at its best.

King Leonidas: “Dilios, I trust that scratch hasn’t made you useless.”
Dilios: “Hardly, my lord, it’s just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare.”

Nothing would stop Dilios in the name of honor and respect.

Where do you have that kind of commitment?
