yesterday today missions
The only one you should compare yourself to is you. Your mission is to become better today than you were yesterday.
decision manage
By far the hardest decision I've had to manage [was about my health]. Because I had 51 years of doing it wrong.
leadership pain loss
The experience of pain or loss can be a formidably motivating force.
leadership years trying
Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.
leadership giving people
People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.
leadership humility
Have the humility to learn from those around you.
people vision trying
When pastors ask me if their people will buy this vision, I ask them two questions: "Have they bought into your leadership?" If they haven't, don't ever try to pass on a vision. Second, "Have you processed this vision correctly?"
motivational successful people
Successful people reject rejection.
leadership opportunity thinking
People who are not leaders automatically gravitate toward lines--limitations set by others. Many people are taught this in kindergarten when they are instructed to stay within the lines while coloring. But leaders are more creative than that. They look for options and opportunities. They try to take things in a new direction, or beyond the limit. Progress and innovation are made by people who think without lines.
leadership people close-friends
All of the people in my life whom I consider to be close friends or colleagues are good thinkers.
leadership dream knowing
The leader continually passes on the vision to those who come around, knowing that dreams, if presented right, are contagious.
leadership achievement
Without failure there is no achievement.
leadership power-of-one
Leadership is the power of one harnessing the power of many.
dream couple thinking
Many times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - I want to take my city for Christ. But the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. A pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.
