Leadership is influence.

If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.

The church that will not give up will be outdated and passed by, quicker than they realize.

Your teammates will stretch your vision or choke your dream.

When a person starts to talk about their dreams, it's as if something bubbles up from within. Their eyes brighten, their face glows, and you can feel the excitement in their words.

Most people would rather change their circumstances to improve their lives when instead they need to change themselves to improve their circumstances. They put in just enough effort to distance themselves from their problems without ever trying to go after the root, which can often be found in themselves. Because they don't try to change the source of their problems, their problems keep coming back at them.

You can change your life if you really want to. You can improve it, make it better. And it all starts with changing the way you think.
