No Competition For God's Promises To You...Joyce L. Rodgers

"A spirit of judgment will make you say to yourself, Who does she think she is? She thinks she's all that.  Or, What did she do to deserve that? I know someone who deserves it more!  Instead of concentrating on what God is doing for you and reflecting upon what He has promised to you, you jealously zero in on what He is doing for someone else.  What God bestows upon another in no way will take away from what he promises to give to you."  

--Joyce L. Rodgers,  Founder and CEO of Primary Purpose Ministry, Inc., Evangelist, Author and Conference Speaker (Except from the book, Fatal Distractions)

Creating Change...Sara Blakley

I am a case study of 'if you didn't know how this is done, this is how you do it.' It's interesting. Now I give speeches and I always ask: If no one showed you how to do your job, how would you be doing it? Take a moment and ask that question. Often your way is better. Maybe it's a fresh new approach. If you are doing something the way that everyone is doing it, you are not really creating change by doing it that way.  --Sara Blakley, Entrepreneur and Founder of Spanx, Inc.

Leadership Tuesdays: Great Ideas...Sara Blakley

Ideas are really vunerable at the moment you have them.  A lot of great ideas are killed because people, out of love and concern, will say, 'If it's such a great idea, why hasn't somebody else done it?'
