1) It's lonely to lead. Leadership involves tough decisions. The tougher the decision, the lonelier it is.
2) It's dangerous to succeed. I'm most concerned
for those who aren't even 30 and are very gifted and successful.
Sometimes God uses someone right out of youth, but usually he uses
leaders who have been crushed.
3) It's hardest at home. No one ever told me this in Seminary.
4) It's essential to be real. If there's one realm where phoniness is common, it's among leaders. Stay real.
5) It's painful to obey. The Lord will direct you
to do some things that won't be your choice. Invariably you will give up
what you want to do for the cross.
6) Brokenness and failure are necessary.
7) Attititude is more important than actions. Your
family may not have told you: some of you are hard to be around. A bad
attitude overshadows good actions.
8) Integrity eclipses image. Today we highlight image. But it's what you're doing behind the scenes.
9) God's way is better than my way.
10) Christlikeness begins and ends with humility.
