Encouragement Is Oxygen For The Soul

For Many Many Years, I've Taught, Not Only Leadership, But I've Taught People That They Need A Personal Growth Plan. Growth Is Not An Automatic Process For You Or Me Or Anybody.

The Position Does Not Make You A Leader. The Title, The Promotion, The Fancy Corner Office Do Not Make You A Leader. No, It Is Relationships With People That Are The Foundation, The Very Heart Of Leadership. Have You Ever Worked For Someone You Didn't Like? It's Difficult, Isn't It? On The Other Hand, The Leader You Will Follow Anywhere And Everywhere Is One You Know Cares About You, And Values You. This Person Has Your Best Interests At Heart. It Is The Leader Who Comes Alongside To Help You Improve And Grow.

I Define Self-control, In The Beginning Of Life, As The Choice Of Achieving What I Really Want By Doing Things I Really Don't Want To Do. Once This Becomes A Habit, Discipline Becomes The Choice Of Achieving What I Really Want By Doing The Very Things I Now Want To Do! I Really Believe That A Disciplined Life Becomes A Joy--but Only After We Have Worked Hard To Practice It.

I Kept Saying To Myself, This Is A Calling That God Has Given Me. And So With Intention I Said, "okay I'm Going To Write Books Not Only For The Christian Community, But Also For The Secular Community." I Found It Really Rewarding Because The Last One To Use My Gifts And Advantages To People Who Look At Church As Not On Their Radar Screen At All, It Gives Me Favor With - I Do A Lot With Fortune 500 Companies Now.

The Sum Of All Your Thoughts Comprises Your Overall Attitude.
