Success Is A Continuing Thing. It Is

Self-discipline, More Than Any Other Personal Quality I Can Think Of, Is The One Thing That Separates Successful People From The Unsuccessful. Think Of All It Encompasses: Honoring Commitments, Promises And Deadlines, Keeping Your Life On Schedule, Being Willing To Go The Extra Mile... Self-discipline Is Essential To Success. The Alternative Is A Life Ruled By Emotions, And None Of Us Can Afford That If We're Going To Fulfill Our Purpose And Realize Our Potential.

Integrity Is The Factor That Determines Which One Will Prevail. We Struggle Daily With Situations That Demand Decisions Between What We Want To Do And What We Ought To Do. Integrity Establishes The Ground Rules For Resolving These Tensions. It Determines Who We Are And How We Will Respond Before The Conflict Even Appears. Integrity Welds What We Say, Think, And Do, Into A Whole Person So That Permission Is Never Granted For One Of These To Be Out Of Sync.

We Choose What Attitudes We Have Right Now. And It's A Continuing Choice.

In My Leadership Conferences, Pastors Ask, "do You Have A Vision For My Church?" Many Times They Want Me To Give Them A Picture Of Where They Should Go And What Their Church Should Look Like. When These Pastors Do This, I Always Feel Bad.

Without Failure There Is No Achievement.
