One of the greatest single traits shared by men and women who achieve their life goals is persistence. I call this quality stickability, which Napoleon Hill, father of modern success philosophy, recognized: “One reason why most men seldom accumulate fortunes until they have passed well beyond the 40-year goal post of life is that they must undergo failures and adversities and overcome sufficient obstacles to develop sufficient knowledge to accumulate wealth.”

I consider this Earth to be like a school and our life the classrooms. And in Earth school, the lessons can come as detours, roadblocks, or crises. The secret to getting ahead is being open to the lessons. I invite you to walk through life eager and open to self-improvement and what will best help you evolve—to grow into more of yourself, always moving to the next level of understanding, compassion, and growth.

Before you ask yourself “What am I going to do?” ask “Who am I going to be?” Whether you wear your country’s uniform or not, you all called to serve and give back to those around you. And you don’t have to travel to find ways to serve—just take a look around your community. Are there kids in your neighborhood who could use a mentor? Can you volunteer to serve military families? Can you donate to a food bank? These actions seem small, but they make a big difference. When you’ve worked hard and done well, you can then give a hand to somebody else who could use some help.

A traditional definition of charisma calls it a compelling attractiveness or charm, also a divinely conferred power or talent. It is a primal, sexual, animal, spiritual energy.

Think back to the last big goal you set. How long did you give yourself to reach it? You likely said: “I’m going to lose 30 pounds this year.” You tend to use the 365-day year as a natural execution cycle because it’s comfortable. It gives you 12 long months to make things happen. You feel like you have plenty of time to achieve your goals.

Plug thought leader architect into the title field of a LinkedIn search, and only one name pops up—mine. The truth is, many people are trying to become viewed as thought leaders because they recognize that being a well-publicized, well-respected expert in their field is good for business. But most people have a hard time figuring out how to do it on their own.

My father had to cope with an unfathomable situation: at 16, he was a prisoner in Auschwitz. He was deported from Hungary in spring 1944, was separated from his family and friends, and spent a year in Nazi concentration camps.
