The Essence of Leadership Volume 2: Part 1

Book excerpt: One of the things I used to tell people which is still good, if you have gotten lazy, you need to go on a missions trip, now, going on a missions trip does not mean that you go off to a foreign country to serve for many years and you come back devastated, no, most missions trips happen right here in the United States, many times right in your community, things like soup kitchens, food pantries at local churches, volunteering at the Hospitals, there are many things that can be done, but the one thing is, we have to find ways to get past ourselves, here's a key question for us, and one that I had to learn too;HOW CAN YOU MANAGE SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE, WHEN YOU CAN'T MANAGE YOUR OWN?In order to get over failure, to get to the point of getting past failure, we must first learn what we are really dealing with, defeat, is first a systematic rebellion against ones self, again, you are your worst enemy, there will never be anyone that can influence you, that has a voice that's greater than your own.
