“Allow yourself a 10% ration to be wrong, a 50% likelihood of betrayal, and a 100% commitment to survive it all.

In order to make winning decisions, we must persevere.  We must assess our habits from the past and determine to change and mold them according to our mission statement for the future.  If we stay mired in the muddy pit of self-defeat, guilt, and shame over past missed opportunities and wrong choices, then we will never experience the freedom to restore our trajectory to our destiny’s flight plan.  You will never soar when you’re too busy wallowing in self-pity and blame-shifting.” T.D.Jakes- Maximize The Moment (Berkley Books, New York)

“LEADING FROM THE BACK”

Is a leader the person who always takes credit for what he or she has accomplished? Always needing to be noticed? Remember, one of the leadership styles/characteristics is “Quiet leader”- the person who pushes others to do their best and needs no credit/validation. “The leader is, most often, the person in the background.”

  SOME DEFINITIONS OF A GOOD LEADER:

-Doesn’t take criticism personally

-Isn’t worried about being popular or unpopular

-Admits mistakes and learns from them

-You are confident in being the LEADER that God designed YOU to be!
