Becoming a Leader
Getting people to buy into a vision is the work of a leader. First, the leader must believe in the vision themselves and be willing to do what it takes to make the vision a reality. Being able to articulate the vision in a way that others can see the big picture and have faith requires passion. There must be a set drive to see the vision materialize. Ultimately, success is the reward for diligence.

Seth Godin in his book, Tribes: We Need You to Lead, describes a tribe as "a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea." People want to be connected to each other. They also are looking for something new, something to make them grow.

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
