Punctuality

‘If there is one virtue that should be cultivated more than another by him who would succeed in life, it is punctuality; if there is one error that should be avoided, it is being behind time’ - Freeman Hunt

Always be early and you’ll never be late.

Leave your place early so you’ll arrive early at their place.

Be there before they are, or before others are.

People will learn that you can be trusted.

Don’t arrive when it’s time to be leaving.

People don’t appreciate those who steal their time.

Respect people’s time and they’ll give you more.

Discouragement

‘Beaten paths are for beaten men’ - Unknown

A leader without courage is a leader without leadership.

Amazingly, for leaders, courage prevails over wisdom.

David and Goliath.

The strong persist through discouragement.

They pursue even when their heart flags.

Personal faith is absolutely essential for the leader.

Failure is not final!

Whether we get up again will render the failure final or not.

High visionary leaders require the failure, final or not.

High visionary leaders require high-level encouragement.

Learn to encourage yourself.

Develop relationships with encouraging people.

Remove unnecessary discouraging influences from your life.

Let everything be done to build up your spirit.

Watch, read and listen to what builds you up.

God moves through people of courage.

Motivations II

‘Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself’ - Phil 2:3

The base line motivations of our life must be right.

Bad roots equal bad fruit.

Is my motivation arrogance, selfishness, anxiety, anger, impatience.

Or am I acting out of love, joy, peace, unselfishness, purity.

These things will bless my life.

Whatever I act on I Strengthen.

If I act out of love I strengthen love.

If I act in faith, I strengthen faith.
