So think long and hard about who you're spending the most time with, for wherever they are headed, so are you.

Let God talk to you and minister to you, where you get honest with Him - here's what I do well and don't do well; here are my shortcomings, my strengths, and my gifts.

I want to always be viewed by my readers as a friend and not as an authority or an expert.

The collective influence of you and the other leaders will bring the rest along. If this does not happen, divided interest and loyalty will occur within the group.

Your attitude is a choice.

Speak the truth. Transparency breeds legitimacy.

It is truly one day at a time.
