It was while I was pastoring that I began to realize that pastors were not growing churches because they didn't understand leadership because they were not trained, adequate leaders.

Why did the achievers overcome problems while thousands are overwhelmed by theirs? They refused to hold on to the common excuses for failure. They turned their stumbling blocks into stepping stones. They realized that they couldn't determine every circumstance in life but they could determine their choice of attitude towards every circumstance.

Every change in human attitude must come through internal understanding and acceptance. Man is the only known creature who can reshape and remould himself by altering his attitude.

The only adequate preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.

If you want to do something really big, do it as part of a team.

Someone once defined hard work as the accumulation of the easy things you didn't do when you should have.

Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.
