Let your light shine. Shine within you so that it can shine on someone else. Let your light shine.

Leave everyone you meet better than you found them. Become an encourager of potential versus a destroyer of confidence.

Ministry is when the people who hear you, don't want more of you; they want more of Him because of what you've said. When you point them to God's fire instead of trying to get attention for yourself-that's ministry.

The power of inspiring others to service and sacrifice will mark God's leader.

Exodus 4:14). Let us not pass the buck of leadership because we think ourselves incapable.

True greatness, true leadership, is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you.

simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.

I want to make a difference with people who want to make a difference, doing something that makes a difference.

Many people view leadership the same way they view success, hoping to go as far as they can, to climb the ladder, to achieve the highest position possible for their talent. But contrary to conventional thinking, I believe the bottom line in leadership isn't how far we advance ourselves but how far we advance others. That is achieved by serving others and adding value to their lives.

Leaders who attract followers... Need to be needed leaders who develop leaders... Want to be succeeded.

Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere.
