Leadership: The skill of influencing people to work enthusiastically toward goals identified as being for the common good.

Authority: The skill of getting people to willingly do your will, because of your personal influence.

Serving others breaks you free from the shackles of self and self-absorption that choke out the joy of living.

Who then is the greatest leader? The one who has served the most.

Power: The ability to force or coerce someone to do your will, even if they would choose not to, because of your position or your might.

There is great joy in leading with authority, which is serving others by meeting their legitimate needs.

Those who follow the crowd will never be followed by the crowd.

INTENTIONS + ACTION = WILL

A seagull manager is one who periodically flies into the area, makes a lot of noise, dumps on the people, maybe eats their lunch, and flies away.

Authority cannot be bought or sold, given or taken away.

INTENTIONS - ACTION = SQUAT

Patience is the glue that binds hard work and faith.

To take Christ into our well-ordered, well-kept lives is in many ways to ask for trouble, for he will not leave well enough alone.

There are times I think I am not sure of something which I absolutely know.

I love people who are very honest and very open and don't pretend to be anything they're not.

One of my favorite activities is just to drive and listen to music - of course, only when there's no traffic.

The deepest sins are camouflaged as holiness.

Work. Home. The pub. Meeting girls. Living in the city. Life. Is that all there is?

I help relationships come to an end or help them go to the next level. It can be boyfriend or girlfriend, or if you want to quit your job.
