Patience
October 6, 2005
‘Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.’ - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Patience is strength of spirit. She is the measure of our capacity.
Short spirit, short patience, long spirit, long patience.
Patience bears heavy loads with a happy attitude, without complaining.
Patience is something I decide to receive, to embrace.
Say, ‘I decide to be patient. I receive patience now.’
Patience is nourished through trial, strengthened through pressure.
Whatever you’re facing right now, it is growing your level of patience.
This is turn increases your capacity.
Increased capacity increases your success levels.
Be patient. It will ’surely come to pass.

Punctuality
October 6, 2005
‘If there is one virtue that should be cultivated more than another by him who would succeed in life, it is punctuality; if there is one error that should be avoided, it is being behind time’ - Freeman Hunt
Always be early and you’ll never be late.
Leave your place early so you’ll arrive early at their place.
Be there before they are, or before others are.
People will learn that you can be trusted.
Don’t arrive when it’s time to be leaving.
People don’t appreciate those who steal their time.
Respect people’s time and they’ll give you more.

Discouragement
October 6, 2005
‘Beaten paths are for beaten men’ - Unknown
A leader without courage is a leader without leadership.
Amazingly, for leaders, courage prevails over wisdom.
David and Goliath.
The strong persist through discouragement.
They pursue even when their heart flags.
Personal faith is absolutely essential for the leader.
Failure is not final!
Whether we get up again will render the failure final or not.
High visionary leaders require the failure, final or not.
High visionary leaders require high-level encouragement.
Learn to encourage yourself.
Develop relationships with encouraging people.
Remove unnecessary discouraging influences from your life.
Let everything be done to build up your spirit.
Watch, read and listen to what builds you up.
God moves through people of courage.
