I am always inspired as I travel to Washington D.C. There's so many inspirational quotes attached to various memorials. The Lincoln Memorial is no exception. Across from Ford's Theater, the infamous place where President Lincoln was fatally shot, is the Ford's Theater Center for Education and Leadership. This attraction houses a stack of books that stands 34 feet high. Each of these books are written about President Lincoln, and many of them are about his leadership. Lincoln was certainly an inspirational leader to the United States during his lifetime. However, we also can find use for his wisdom today. Lincoln was determined. Once his mind was set to do something, the task was all but done. In a letter to Isham Revis, Lincoln advised about becoming a lawyer. Isham was told, "If you are resolutely determined to become a lawyer, the thing is more than halfway done already." Those words tell me that the first and most important step in any task is to determine in your mind to complete the task. Everything afterward is just a process.
