If you ask to help, chances are you are the only one who will be blessed! People tend to express their gratitude, and politely decline your offer. But you'll feel good for asking! However, when you see a need and fulfill it, then the individual is surprised, thrilled, awed, and blessed beyond measure.
The greatest crisis in America today is a crisis of leadership. And the greatest peril of leadership is a crisis of character.
There was something very noble about a young soldier who dared to give his life for the sake of his country. Gratefully, we witness the same valiant sacrifices on the battlefield today. Regrettably, few are the other venues where similar heroics fill the landscape.
My parents, like other parents of this era, represented a generation of helpers—what I refer to as generation of doers. We have become a generation of viewers. We talk a good game when it comes to helping, but there's no follow-through if we sense the slightest degree of inconvenience.
The lack of wisdom in our present society poses a critical threat to the quality of our lives. A substantial disconnect exists in our world today which results in a massive division between generations. The division does not interrupt economic, social, or even political channels. It's a divide that separates one generation from the wisdom of an earlier.
Son, if you're not going to do it right, it's not worth doing at all.
Discipline is a wonderful elixir for a culture desperately seeking depth and purpose amidst the enfranchisement of superficiality. In other words, ours is an age that would rather feel disciplined than actually be disciplined.
You show me any athlete at any level who gives maximum effort, and I will show you a player who will excel. It is not a matter of talent. It’s not a question of where you went in the draft. The question is do you have the heart of a champion? And at the heart of every champion I have ever coached is a dedicated effort to be the absolute best you can be. Results are important. But results don’t define who you are as a man. Success is not being a first-round draft pick. Success is using your God-given ability to give maximum effort every day—whether you’re in the NFL, teach school, or work construction.
Ours is a visual world with citizens who delight in those who appear good or gifted or great. Thus, we find it pleasantly acceptable for morality to be replaced by materialism, principle by popularity, or character by convenience.
It's hard to breathe within the space created by never.
God will put you in a Hell of a situation to bring Heaven out of you.
Good enough is not good enough if it can be better. And better is not good enough if it can be best.
Mentor another man with the Word of God and your lifestyle!
You'll impact people if you use wisdom from parents and teachers!
I need to get over myself, so I can get on with God!
It's never wrong to do the right thing, that how you do anything is how you do everything, and in that way, you will grow your influence to make an impact. In that way, you will honor all those who have gone before you who have invested in you. Look in those unlikeliest places for wisdom. Enhance your life every day by seeking that wisdom and asking yourself every night, "How am I living?"
