EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP

“”You will see the leaders of darkness deposed and imprisoned.  You will see the brilliance of the wait for just the right time.  You are going to see Me rescue you and your nation, you are going to celebrate, and you will declare, He Is Worth The Wait!”

–Diana Larkin at A Watchman’s Journal

God’s prophetic message reminds the world that effective leadership is coming.  Isn’t it overdue?

These quotes should inspire each of us to be better leaders.

“A leader takes people where they want to go.  A great leader takes people where they don’t want to go, but ought to be.”

–Rosalynn Carter

“Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders.”

–Tom Peters

We can count on God to reset our world in justice, righteousness and freedom.

We will celebrate in the streets of our nation and the rest of the world will follow…are you ready?

POLLINATING GOODNESS

“You must be a divine bee, tasting nothing but the sweetness, the goodness, of the honey of God.”

“Remember that, and try to absorb in yourself the good qualities of others.”

–Paramahansa Yogananda

What a charming way to see ourselves as the “honey of God.”

EXCEEDING LIFE

Maya Angelou lived a surpassing life of courage and wisdom, so choosing this quote from her inspires this post.

“In the end, only three things matter.  How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”

Her rich life reflects being in love with ‘loving.”  She lived with gentle compassion to achieve her dreams.  What wisdom…her greatness lies in surrendering to what is not meant for us to be or have.  She leaves us with a wonderful legacy.  I receive it.

“Love recognizes no barriers.  It jumps hurdles, leap fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.”
