John C. MaxwellMany times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - I want to take my city for Christ. But the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. A pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.
John C. MaxwellThe greatest of all miracles is that we need not be tomorrow what we are today. The greatest of all insights is that we cannot be tomorrow what we do not do today. That is why today matters.
John C. MaxwellUntil I understand where I am, I canโt get to where I am going. This is the value of a compass when we are out walking or hiking and need to know weโre going in the right direction. But we also have an internal North Star. Itโs that little nudge that tells us if we are on the right path to fulfilling our potential, or on the wrong path wasting energy traveling somewhere we donโt need to go. So my advice to you is, pull out that compass every once in a while and make sure you are navigating in the right direction on your journey.
