When you judge yourself you judge others. When you accept yourself you accept others. This is why you must begin with yourself!
Airplanes don't fly straight. They are constantly realigning. From time to time we must observe the direction we are moving in, stop for a moment, assess and realign.
Loyalty doesn't mean accepting blame for another, that is, when they're another. When we're on a team and we are one, their mistake isn't another's, it's ours and we cover for them. This is true for marriage, parenting, and business.
We must look deep within and ask whether we are ready to harness the system and drive it. Otherwise, the system drives us, and our potential lies dormant.
