As I travel from East Tennessee to West Tennessee, I’m reminded that summer is slowly beginning to give way to fall. The landscape is changing. Fields are maturing, colors are beginning their transition, and the beauty around us tells the story of another season.

There are two questions every leader should ask from time to time: How much is enough? and What am I willing to give? The first question challenges our perspective.

Gratitude keeps ambition in the right place.
