Your Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have people designated as “followers.” In other words, they are interested in what you are up to.
If people are following you, then you might be considered a leader in some way. Lead well…

Riches
The culture of the United States is greed. People work themselves to poor health, shaky relationships and find themselves disillusioned. They may have acquired wealth, but lost themselves along the way.
None of this is taught in the Bible. Solomon, the wealthiest man to ever live, asked God for wisdom. And he got it!
You must decide what’s important to you. If you value your family, your health and seek fulfillment, you might not have as much money, but you will be wealthier than most…
The Limelight
We experience great, even phenomenal performances by gifted athletes, musicians, actors and speakers. Their God-given talents appear to be effortless.
Behind every great performance lies hours and hours of preparation. Many lonely times and frustrating setbacks are part of their journey. Yet they press on.
Everything we see in the limelight was prepared in the dark, sometimes in the darkest of times…
Potential
All of us have unique gifts. Whether or not we use them is up to us. This also applies to how we use them.
If you are a good communicator, are you spreading light and encouragement, or fear and dread? The message will be taken seriously because you have the gift of communication.
Use your God-given potential the way He wants you to. After all, God is the one who gave you your unique gifts…
Achievements
Greatness happens through hard work, commitment and humility. The greatest leaders, Jesus, Mother Theresa and Abraham Lincoln served, but never made it about themselves.
Usually the ones who crow the loudest about their greatness are not great at all…
Offended
It seems like people are wearing their feelings on their sleeves nowadays. People get offended by “any little thing,” and become outraged. Why?
Playing the victim has become popular with some people. It’s a waste to get attention this way. They might get noticed for something, but it doesn’t last.
I encourage you to take the high ground. In an imperfect world, others will offend us, but that’s unavoidable. Keep your focus on doing something great with your life. The rest will take care of itself…
Limitless
Our minds have unlimited power. How do we tap into that power and use it for good?
The first step is we must believe in the limitless creative possibilities our brains possess. If we don’t believe, we will not get anywhere.
The next step is to stop overthinking things. Quieten your mind and let it do the work. It will, we just need to stay out of the way.
Finally, whatever we have a burning desire for, our minds will become focused like a laser beam to make it happen.
Get quiet, and allow your mind to work for you. It takes daily practice, but then it becomes part of your identity…
Envy
Answer this question honestly, are you envious of someone? If the answer is no, congratulations. You have overcome one of the things that robs us of peace and contentment. But if you said yes, let’s examine this.
The root of envy is dissatisfaction. We aren’t fulfilled in some area of life. The best news? You can change that. You have the ability to take action and do something about the area of life you are dissatisfied in. It’s up to each of us. It always has been in our power.
Turn your envy into fuel to propel yourself forward. Start now…
Toxins
Toxins are everywhere. In the air, our water, even in the food we eat. You practically can’t eliminate something toxic from getting into your system.
But we can control what goes into our minds. We can eliminate the news, websites we should avoid, the books we consume, even negative people. It’s our choice. Choose wisely…
Leaders
For many years, I have written and spoken on leadership. There are a lot of characteristics that make up a good leader, but today I will only focus on one: compassion.
A compassionate leader thinks about the people he or she leads. That type of leader recognizes that an organization will only be as good as the people, and that people need to know they are important, they are valued. And a compassionate leader must be authentic. People can see through bullshit a mile away!
If you are in a leadership role, I encourage you to lead with compassion. You will get the most out of your people by leading this way, and you’ll have greater personal job satisfaction…
