I was born on an island with 96 percent of the people black. But all the power and the economy was in the hands of white people who only formed four per cent.
Many people are leaders trapped in a follower's body.
We need to stop focusing on people leaving earth and focus on, like Jesus said, the Kingdom of God is the yeast. Yeast invades dough.
Leadership will either lead you into a ditch or lead you into purpose. We need our leaders, especially those who are teaching our young people, to have the right message.
Leadership potential exists in everybody. What I think we have missed is that we have somehow relegated leadership only to a special, talented few people.
Young people all over the world are very frustrated. They are very disillusioned. Many of them are turning their back on religion. They are walking away from the faith of their parents, and most of this is because religion has failed them.
No matter how many people celebrate your gifts, don't ever think that you are more important to them than your gift is to them. This is why many people fail: They fail because they think that people came to follow them.
If you keep your perspective correct and understand that people are coming to you because your gift makes room for you in the world, then you do not need to wonder or worry about having to misplace your importance as a person.
I can guarantee people, then, that if they learn, discover, understand, explore, and apply the same principles that I learned, that success is predictable.
We need people in the areas that create laws and policies who are filled with the Kingdom so that those laws can become the fabric of our social development.
When you get before great people you don't talk a lot, you ask questions
Noticing when the stoplights are in sync, or calculating the length of your strides between floor tiles - normal people notice that kind of stuff, but a certain kind of person will do some calculations.
Most people die at age 25 and are buried at age 65.
We need people to be taught that they possess a hidden leader on the inside, and to reconnect to that leader, they must reconnect to the Creator who placed that leadership potential in them. They must be reconnected to God, and this is why we should come back to God not really to go to heaven, but to rediscover our true leadership dominion mandate, and then serve that to the world.
