thinking vacuums truth-is
We tend to think of great thinkers and innovators as soloists, but the truth is that the greatest innovative thinking doesn't occur in a vacuum.
running believe generosity
Sometimes we hold on to our possessions because we fear we might run out - life seems scarce. But when we believe that giving is the way to live, we will produce more in the future - life seems abundant.
thinking trying forget
The harder you try to forget something, the more you think about it subconsciously.
people vision trying
When pastors ask me if their people will buy this vision, I ask them two questions: "Have they bought into your leadership?" If they haven't, don't ever try to pass on a vision. Second, "Have you processed this vision correctly?"
inspirational challenges overcoming
You don't overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.
team difficult-situations practice
Practice the 101 Percent Principle. Whenever possible, find the 1 percent you do agree on in a difficult situation, and give it 100 percent of your effort.
thinking people vision
When I had something I thought God was talking to me about, the first thing I did, before I ever talked to the congregation, was to sit down with the major influencers of the church and share with them what I thought God was speaking to me. I gave them time for input or questions. Many times they would ask questions and I would reply, "I need to spend more time on this. I'm not sure I'm thinking clearly there." Other times they added value and helped make this vision better or more accessible to the people.
thinking action failing
She that fails to command her thoughts will soon lose command of her actions.
believe self practice
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.
thinking leader walks
Anybody who thinks that they are a leader and doesn't have anyone following them is just out for a walk.
thinking stay-positive challenges
Our challenge is to think right in a wrong world. Our challenge is to think positive in a negative world.
people leader ability
Nurturing has the ability to transform people's lives.
team winning player
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
thinking answers dependent
Never allow others to think you always have the best answers. This will only make them dependent on you.
