Think of three or four people you genuinely admire, those that always seem to rise to the top, the ones that somehow capture your attention and inspire your imagination … three or four people that are receiving extraordinary results in their lives … and evaluate the common attributes you find among them. Write them down.

Here’s my first stab. This is by no means an extensive list of skills necessary for success, rather it’s merely an attempt to uniquely describe those people in my life I desire to model. So here goes:

Five Attributes I Admire Most in the People I Admire Most
  1. Purpose/Direction … Instead of concerning themselves most with “how” they will succeed, they have a compelling “why” that drives them to success. (Discover Your Purpose with Incentive *link added)
  2. Passion/Emotion … They are never boring. They laugh, enjoy life and work, and embrace the changes set before them with creative solutions. (Great Leadership Advice - “Don’t be Boring” *link added)
  3. Faith/Belief System … They believe in something bigger than themselves, creating a strong sense of integrity and perspective; a life-barometer of sorts. They have empowering beliefs. (Focus on Your Beliefs, Not Your Behavior *link added)
  4. Influence/Leadership … They have the ability to rally talented and passionate people together for a common cause, and inspire others to succeed. They attract success.
  5. Wisdom … They are more concerned with learning and applying universal natural laws than trendy principles and methodology. They are willing to think at higher levels.

Over the next week or so, I’ll attempt to explore each of these attributes more in depth.
