Before you can lead others, you must put in your time serving others. Pay your dues, so to speak. Other people need to know you are trustworthy, reliable, and that you are willing to help develop them. This holds true whether you are leading an organization or your family. Leaders have a servants heart…

Newness…
When we go on vacation, everything we experience is new to us. The neurons in our brain go crazy, creating new neural pathways where our feelings are forever stored. This is healthy exercise for our minds. I encourage you to try to experience something new every day, even if it’s changing the way you drive to work. You will feel the difference…
Opinions…
We concern ourselves about what others think of us. Their opinions do not matter because they have no authority over our lives. Focus on yourself, and take care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Everything will fall into place. Let others think whatever they want. You know the truth…
Searching…
Everyone you meet is searching for two things: their identity and their purpose. We have this in common. Focus on connecting with others by seeing them this way, not through our obvious differences. Make an impact on someone…
Goodness…
Since the beginning of time as we know it, there has been evil in the world. Yet, there’s a lot of good, too. Don’t be afraid to rock the boat against injustice. Speak up for those who feel like they don’t have a voice. We need more good people to lead well…

Strength…
The past year has allowed people to see how strong they are. The chaos in our lives caused by the pandemic has showed us our inner strength. We see the runway and are coming in for a landing with the coronavirus. And we are forever changed for the better…
Happy?
At wedding receptions, people make toasts to the newlyweds. Most of those toasts include wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness. That’s not realistic. I’m not being a downer here, but if you’re pursuing a life that’s happy all the time, you will not find it. Happiness is moment by moment. We live in a broken world, and that brokenness includes some dark times. Seek fulfillment over happiness. Darkness will come, but light is on the way…
Rudeness…
Our culture has adopted political correctness in a failed attempt to stop people from being rude. Rudeness is never okay, but trying to fix internal heart problems with external answers is in vain.
Be Kind…
It costs nothing to be kind to others. We do not know what other people are struggling with. Show kindness to others, even those who don’t deserve it.
