“Virtue is its own reward.”
Cicero was right—but that’s only half the truth.
Virtue isn’t just a personal win; it’s a force multiplier. When one leader stands on principle, the ripple effect is felt everywhere. Conversely, fear tolerated anywhere is a direct threat to leadership everywhere.
The greatest danger? Letting our principles slip. Leadership isn’t about convenience—it’s about conviction. Our principles exist for a reason: to honor God, protect family, and respect our brothers and sisters as both human beings and servant leaders.
When we compromise, we surrender. When we stand firm, we inspire.
In the end, leadership isn’t about power—it’s about the courage to uphold what matters, no matter the cost.
