My inner critic who had begun piping up about how hopeless I was and how I didn't know to write.
Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.
When you are bigger than your purpose you have a career. When your purpose is bigger than you, you have a calling.
Give God the first part of every day. Give God the first day of every week. Give God the first portion of your income. Give God the first consideration in every decision. Give God the first place in your life.
If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.
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.
If you really want to be a successful leader, you must develop other leaders around you. You must establish a team.
