Sadly, failure in the leadership arena is going to happen again and again and again and again. Let's not grow cynical, but grow humbly so we leave a healthy legacy for others because of our leadership and service. 

Leadership does solve problems - not at the expense of your identity, but because of your identity.

So what's your story?

Maybe that question excites you. Maybe you like talking about yourself. Maybe you have a story that would make the observance of Forrest Gump's life seem like watching paint dry. 

Maybe that question frightens you. Maybe you have too much pain in your past. Maybe your path is littered with broken memories, crushed dreams, and potholes of disappointment. Maybe the idea of recalling your past triggers pain, anxiety, depression, or isolation.
