Knowing the future is difficult, controlling the future is impossible. Knowing today is essential; controlling today is possible.

If a leader cannot give you a clear picture of what he or she sees in the future, that person is not the leader of that organization.

Nothing separates successful people from unsuccessful people more than how they use their time!

Everything begins with a decision. Then, we have to manage that decision for the rest of your life.

You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.

Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Don't ever underestimate the power of planning. You can't make your vision come to life unless you outline each goal-driven step at a time. And you can't reach your full potential unless you plan how to make the most of your purpose and passion. When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.

All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.
