“To be an influencer, you have to love people before you can try to lead them.”

You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.

God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.

Commitment comes as a result of choice, not conditions.

Successful people don’t have any fewer problems than unsuccessful people; they just have a different mindset in dealing with them.

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.

Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.

Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.

It’s said that a wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others’ mistakes. But the wisest person of all learns from others’s successes.

Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up.

Negative thinking limits God and our potential.

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

The length and breath of our influence on others are directly related to the depth of our concern for them.

Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.

The best way to help people is to see the best in them.
