Encourage the many; mentor the few.

I remember as a seventeen-year-old kid saying, "If attitude made me captain of this team, I'm going to have a good attitude all my life."

Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

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

The goal of the pastor is not to get people to show up but to get people to grow up.

It is hard to feel bad about yourself when you are doing something good for someone else. There are a lot of ways to lift your self-esteem, but making a positive difference in another's life has got to be my best leadership guidance. Serving others and working to add value to them will lift your spirits in a way that nothing else will. Trust me on this one.

To remain a credible leader, I must always work first, hardest, and longest on changing myself. This is neither easy nor natural, but it is essential.
