Sharing true love and connectivity to others in my life means that I must continually be asking myself, "Is Jesus fully accessible in my life in this moment?"

A good smile is less of an outward show of my inward feelings at a certain time, and more of a constant overflow of the love I have in my heart for all of humanity regardless of my own circumstances.

There are numerous ways to provide for each other, working together in the face of any adversity or doomsday talk. We are all stronger together as we take steps to truly care about one another. Adversity will always be around... as will those who overcome! =)

The more definitive trajectory of my life and generations ahead is not only determined by the question, "What if I become continually more and more like Jesus?" The real trajectory and tragedy of my life and generations ahead is answered by asking, "What do I become and what will others suffer and perish from if I do not continually become more and more like Jesus?"

We can often live our lives building ourselves to become great at doing some-thing. Leadership is found in seeing the potential in others and investing ourselves in some-one, as we go some-where, with unending hope working together. This is -where leaders rise up with connected hands; lifting one person at a time out the pits of hopelessness and onto an unshakable foundation.

No boxer, when taking a blunt fist to the face, stops the fight and says, "What's wrong with me? Why do I keep getting hit?" The boxer understands that every hit he takes increases his endurance, patience, and agility for every future fight until he is able to stand up in front of the fiercest opponent... so it is with life.
