Servant-leadership is more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly.

Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth.

All human interactions are opportunities either to learn or to teach.

Do what you feel called to do, but also be prepared to accept that you don't necessarily know what you're going to learn. Be willing to be surprised by forces beyond your control, and realize that a major learning on the journey is the art of surrender.

I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.

If you wish to discern either the presence or absence of integrity, you need to ask only one question. What is missing? Has anything been left out?
