A great leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.

If you want to lead you must learn. If you want to continue to lead you must continue to learn.

God has put a dream inside you. It's yours, and no one else's. It declares your uniqueness. It holds your potential. Only you can birth it. Only you can live it. Not to discover it, take responsibility for it, and act upon it is to negatively affect yourself as well as all those who would benefit from your dream.

If you lack initiative, recognize that the problem comes from the inside, not from others. Determine why you hesitate to take action. Does risk scare you? Are you discouraged by past failures? Do you not see the potential that opportunity offers? Find the source of your hesitation, and address it. You won't be able to move forward on the outside until you can move forward on the inside.

Confront your inadequacies and push your personal boundaries: It's the surest way to grow, improve and expand the scope of your influence.

Encouragement is oxygen for the soul

To do something really big, let go of your ego, and get ready to be part of a team.
