“Know Thyself” was written on the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi according to Greek writings. This saying became known all throughout the Greek culture as it spread throughout western philosophy. It continues to impact readers and give us a great starting point for self-awareness. And in the context of leadership, it is […]
The battlefield of success takes place in the mind. You cannot manifest an outward reality that is inconsistent with your inner reality…or maybe, I should say, you can, but, it will come crashing down eventually. The dissonance between the two realities will cause an internal earthquake with maximum damage. Successful people are always mentally strong […]
One of the greatest ways God speaks to us is through His Word. It is impossible to truly know Him without knowing His Word. His Word is who He is. You may experience God’s presence at times in your life, but you will never fully develop a relationship with Him without the Bible. If you […]

Notice that we are called to give thanks in all circumstances; it is God’s will for us. We are not called to give thanks for our circumstances, but to give thanks in […]
Everyone has greatness within them, but it sometimes becomes buried with hopelessness. I have found there is no such thing as a hopeless situation…just hopeless people.
