The Only Thing We Can Control Is What We Do In The Present. The More We Replay Yesterday, The Further We Get From Today's Opportunities. And The Further Away We Move From Opportunities, The Tougher The Road Is To Get Back. Opportunities Never Look As Good Coming As They Do Going, And They Wait For No One.

Then After The People Have Heard My Message, And Migrate To The Influencers, These Influencers Are Already My Allies And Help Me Communicate The Vision To The Congregation.

Real Leadership Is Being The Person Others Will Gladly And Confidently Follow.

If You Are In A Leadership Position, Do Not Rely On Your Title To Convince People To Follow You. Build Relationships. Win People Over. Do That And You Will Never Be A Lonely Leader.

Our Attitude Determines Our Approach To Life.

You Can't Be A Smart Cookie If You Have A Crummy Attitude.

Creativity Requires The Willingness To Look Stupid.

Since An Attitude Is Often Expressed By Our Body Language And By The Looks On Our Faces, It Can Be Contagious.

Great Leaders Understand That The Right Attitude Will Set The Right Atmosphere, Which Enables The Right Response From Others.

And That's Ok.

Leadership Is Influence. It Is The Ability To Obtain Followers. When The Leader Lacks Confidence, The Followers Have No Commitment. A Leader Is Great Not Because Of His Power, But Because Of His Ability To Empower Others.

Why Would God Send People To Our Church If We Don't Have A Great Dream? Why Would God Give A Multigifted, Multitalented, And Multifinancially Wealthy Person To A Church If The Biggest Thing You Are Going To Do Is Paint The Restrooms Next Year? That's Bad Stewardship.

If You Want To Make A Positive Impact, No Matter How Far-reaching, Start At Home. Treat Your Family Members Like Treasures.

Life Is Now In Session. Are You Present?

A Leader Is A Reader.

Sometimes We Hold On To Our Possessions Because We Fear We Might Run Out - Life Seems Scarce. But When We Believe That Giving Is The Way To Live, We Will Produce More In The Future - Life Seems Abundant.

When I Had Something I Thought God Was Talking To Me About, The First Thing I Did, Before I Ever Talked To The Congregation, Was To Sit Down With The Major Influencers Of The Church And Share With Them What I Thought God Was Speaking To Me. I Gave Them Time For Input Or Questions. Many Times They Would Ask Questions And I Would Reply, "i Need To Spend More Time On This. I'm Not Sure I'm Thinking Clearly There." Other Times They Added Value And Helped Make This Vision Better Or More Accessible To The People.

Attitude: It Is Our Best Friend Or Our Worst Enemy.

I Think Passion Gives You The Energy To Do What Is Right, And Discipline Makes Sure You Do What Is Right. So I Look At Them As Kind Of Cousins Maybe.

The Trials And Pressures Of Life--and How We Face Them--often Define Us. Confronted By Adversity, Many People Give Up While Others Rise Up. How Do Those Who Succeed Do It? They Persevere. They Find The Benefit To Them Personally That Comes From Any Trial. And They Recognize That The Best Thing About Adversity Is Coming Out On The Other Side Of It. There Is A Sweetness To Overcoming Your Troubles And Finding Something Good In The Process, However Small It May Be. Giving Up When Adversity Threatens Can Make A Person Bitter. Persevering Through Adversity Makes One Better.

Attitude Isn’t Everything, But It Is One Thing That Can Make A Difference In Your Life.

Making A Difference

I Define Self-control, In The Beginning Of Life, As The Choice Of Achieving What I Really Want By Doing Things I Really Don't Want To Do. Once This Becomes A Habit, Discipline Becomes The Choice Of Achieving What I Really Want By Doing The Very Things I Now Want To Do! I Really Believe That A Disciplined Life Becomes A Joy--but Only After We Have Worked Hard To Practice It.

God Has Never Given A Dream That Could Be Fulfilled At Step One. So Start Walking, Be Obedient, And Watch God Fulfill That Dream In Your Life.

You Can't Become A Leader In One Conference.

A Leader's Lasting Value Is Measured By Succession.

Our Challenge Is To Think Right In A Wrong World. Our Challenge Is To Think Positive In A Negative World.

Everyone You Know And All The People You Meet Have The Potential To Be Someone Important In The Lives Of Others.
