The only choice we have is to begin. And the only place to begin is where we are. Simply begin. But begin.

It's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. It's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. It's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. It's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle. When you identify the discomfort, you've found the place where a leader is needed.

The challenge is to focus on the work, not on the fear that comes from doing the work.

Commit to the frightening work of flying blind.

If you seek to become indispensable, a similar question is worth asking: "Where do you put the fear?" What separates a linchpin from an ordinary person is the answer to this question.

Most of our lives in public are spent papering over, rationalizing, and otherwise denying our fear. We go to war because we're afraid, and we often go to spiritual events for the very same reason.

Those who fear risk also begin to fear movement of any kind.

You are more Powerful than you think you are. Act Accordingly

If we believe we are loved, we will live loved. If we believe we are strong in the power of God, we will live strong. If we believe Christ is with us in our fear, we will be brave. If we believe that Christ is with us in the mornings of life, He will be there at midnight too.

You are not alone. You are not alone. No matter how you feel, God's Word would never lie. You are not alone!

No one runs your life unless you let them. And you have more power than you think.

The Gift belongs to whoever chooses to accept it. It is enough to believe and not to be afraid to make a few mistakes.
