I've talked to many individuals who want to discuss their problems. But they don't really have problems. They have chosen to live in the wrong direction. They don't need a solution. They need a new direction.

This is why we give up on things that break our heart because it requires change.

The God of Christianity never claims to be fair. He goes beyond fair. The Bible teaches that he decided not to give us what we deserve- that's mercy. In addition, God decided to give us exactly what we didn't deserve- we call that grace.

The love of Christ comes from simple people who love simple people. Never be fooled by the spiritual leader who knows a lot but doesn't love a lot.

Leaders learn to leverage the problems that never go away in a way to create progress for the organization.

Giving up something now for something better later is not a sacrifice. It is an investment.

Your talent and giftedness as a leader have the potential to take you farther than your character can sustain you. That ought to scare you.
