Needless To Say, You Can Love People Without Leading Them, But You Cannot Lead People Without Loving Them.

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.

Don’t Tell Them What You’re Going To Do - That’s Vision. Do What You Are Going To Do – That’s Culture.

I Say, Make The Decision, And As Soon As You Make The Decision, The Rest Of Your Life You Just Manage That Decision On A Daily Basis.

The Road To Success Is Long And Up Hill All The Way

For Many Many Years, I've Taught, Not Only Leadership, But I've Taught People That They Need A Personal Growth Plan. Growth Is Not An Automatic Process For You Or Me Or Anybody.

People Change When They Hurt Enough That They Have To Change, Learn Enough That They Want To Change, Receive Enough That They Are Able To Change.

Good Attitudes Among Players Do Not Guarantee A Team's Success, But Bad Attitudes Guarantee It's Failure.

Now More Than Ever I Am Aware That A Person's Significant Birthdays Can Either Mark The Passage Of Time, Or They Can Mark Changes They've Made In Their Lives To Reach Their Potential And Become The Person They Were Created To Be.

The Key To Encouragement Is In Knowing What Gives People Courage; What Spurs Them On To Action.

When I Was 17, I Made The Decision To Have A Good Attitude. I Was A Junior In High School; The Coach Said I Was Going To Be The Captain Of My Basketball Team. I Thought – That Surprised Me Because I Wasn’t The Best Player. John Thomas Was Better Than Me, And I Was Probably Second Or Third Best Player. And I Kept Thinking, “why Am I Going To Be The Captain?” I Think Everybody Else Was Thinking That Too. And The Coach Then Answered, “the Reason John Is Going To Be The Captain Is He Has The Best Attitude On The Team. He Encourages Others, He Believes We Can Win, He Never Gives Up.”

We Cannot Consistently Behave In A Way That Is Inconsistent With Our Beliefs.

Integrity Is The Factor That Determines Which One Will Prevail. We Struggle Daily With Situations That Demand Decisions Between What We Want To Do And What We Ought To Do. Integrity Establishes The Ground Rules For Resolving These Tensions. It Determines Who We Are And How We Will Respond Before The Conflict Even Appears. Integrity Welds What We Say, Think, And Do, Into A Whole Person So That Permission Is Never Granted For One Of These To Be Out Of Sync.

Pride Deafens Us To The Advice Or Warnings Of Those Around Us.

There Is Definitely A Connection Between Finding Your Passion And Reaching Your Potential. People Ask Me All The Time, 'john, How Do I Know What I Am Meant To Do In Life?'

A Successful Person Finds The Right Place For Himself. But A Successful Leader Finds The Right Place For Others. Few Things In Life Are Better Than Seeing People Realize Their Potential. If You Invest In People By Helping Individuals Improve Themselves, Showing Them The Way To Their “right Place”, They Will Never Be The Same Again. And Neither Will You. It Is Impossible To Help Others Without Helping Yourself.

Courage Isn't An Absence Of Fear. It Is Doing What You Are Afraid To Do, Letting Go Of The Familiar And Forging Ahead Into New Territory. What I Have Discovered Is That The Best Leaders Have The Courage To Act - Are Willing To Take The Risk, Make The Statement, Point The Way, Lead The Way - When Others Hesitate Out Of Fear. Effective Leadership Requires The Ability To Stand Up, Stand Out, And The Conviction To Do It. I Have Never Known A Successful Leader That Was Not Courageous.

The Secret To Success Can Be Found In People's Daily Agendas. If They Do Something Intentional To Grow Every Day, They Move Closer To Reaching Their Potential. If They Don't, Their Potential Slowly Slips Away Over The Course Of Their Lifetime.

We Need To Be Highly Attentive To Spot Them. And We Must Be Focused On Our Present Capabilities, Not Past Regrets.

Intentional Living Is The Bridge To Significance. At The End Of Every Year, I Take Time Out To Reflect And Evaluate The Events Of The Previous Year - What Went Well And What Needed Improvement.
