Watch This If You've Been Trying to Become a Leader
In 1999, news channel headlines were brimming with the scandalous disciplinary measures taking place at Richmond High School, California. Ken Carter, the basketball coach, had suspended his undefeated team due to their poor grades. The chaos that these headlines fueled lead to outrageous outrage...the ensuing movie that these headlines inspired lead to legendary leadership lessons. Here's how the characters of the film Coach Carter display excellent leadership qualities which we can all use when developing our strength of personal character.

Silence
The silence woke her, the darkness was so deafening that her body could not ignore what wasn’t being said. Every cell in her body was screaming at her but no one could hear. She clawed and climbed attempting to escape the captivity that her thoughts had banished her to, but the higher she climbed the more she realized that the hole she was in was never-ending. She was unable to feel even herself, she wasn't even sure if she existed anymore. The only thing she had felt lately was the breathlessness that took her chest when the world started closing in on her. The walls threatening to crush her, her own body threatening to collapse in on itself. She could not breathe, she could not talk, or scream, she couldn't even cry. For crying would express an emotion and she no longer had any use for those. The cold, vacant, cavity that held everything vital for life was uninhibited by anything that made her feel alive.

Power of Words
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." This is a phrase we have all heard more than once in our lives. In my heart, mind and spirit; I understand this phrase is only true if you permit words to hurt you. Instead of allowing hateful words to penetrate my wall of truth and love; I find by offering words of mercy and kindness, hateful words become nothing.

Should You Be Your Own "Monday Morning Quarterback?"
We all know "them." In fact, you may work with a few—or more—of them. In your background, you likely had a teacher or two in school and/or a coach or two in sports who was one of them. If you are in the writing business, you might run into editors who quite often are indeed one of them. You may be related to them. In fact, you might be even be married to one of them! And you might be at the stage in your life where you miss having a parent who was one of them.

Homesickness
It all started in the eighth grade. All she wanted back then was to move far, far away. Don't get it twisted, it wasn't like she was unhappy, in fact, she was very content with her life at that time. But she always had this underlying desire to live a different life. Just to see what it'd be like. It was when she confessed these yearnings to her father did her fantasies become reality.

Take Back Your Power With Self-Care
Anxiety has been a big part of my life since I was 18 years old. Back when there was hardly any awareness about it at all. Even those close to me weren’t interested and I didn’t know how to control it. Both the world and I thought I was crazy, so I struggled alone as very few people understood.

Self-Love Boost
How do you begin an article? How do you go from sitting in silence, waiting for inspiration or an idea to come and then just vomit out something people deem worth reading? Or better yet, how do you dive in feet first to writing a book? These are questions I've been asking myself for over an hour now. That and wondering how on Earth I ever came to the conclusion that I want to be an author.

Definitions
I've always had a strong sense of self. I daresay that I had a level of self-awareness as a five-year old that most people don't develop until they are in their 50s. Some would call being an "old soul" or wise beyond your years. It is generally considered to be a good thing. And from an outsiders point of view, I can recognize how that could appear to be the case. But, of course, the reality is far more complex.
