Stand strong in the face of challenges with #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen. Living our best lives requires us to be all in, all in the time. When everything is to be going your way, it can be easy to make good decisions and do the right thing, but it's also easy to become complacent and stop giving your best. And what about when times are tough and nothing is happening in your favor? It can be even tougher to stay in the game when you don't feel like it and the voices of defeat tell you, "You're done. There's nothing good in your future." Don't believe tricks that life's ups and downs can play on your emotions, your mind, and your attitude. Staying in the game requires living out truths we know, even if we don't feel them to be true. When nothing is going your way and negativity tells you that you should be on the sidelines nursing your wounds--you're still in the game. And when life seems easy, with no storms on the horizon, you're still showing up and giving every day your best. You're still expecting great things, and there are rewards in store for people who are faithful through both hardship and times of ease. There are a million reasons to sit on the sidelines, but no matter what hand life deals you, good things are already on their way, and your effort has been noticed. Be courageous and Stay in the Game; your future is full of opportunities beyond your wildest dreams. Derived from content previously published in The Power of I Am and Break Out!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.
