“Yes we obey our earthly rulers because leadership is from God, but our guide, our direction, in this time, more than any other time, must be from God.”
Kaká
“Motivation is what comes from the outside, it’s something external to you that motivates you, maybe something a coach said to me, or another leader, or my parents, my brother, something outside of myself that is driving me to action. Inspiration is something that’s inside of me, it’s connected to my purpose in life, my beliefs, things that I want to accomplish, things that make me have focus and discipline.”
“Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself than others, it is knowing who you are, and taking a stand in light of that.”
“It doesn’t matter if you have an official leadership role or not. At a minimum, we all lead ourselves.”
Mama Maggie
“The darker the night the brighter the day.”
“Wisdom is better than power.”
“Leave many to be with the One.”
“Remember two things: Be grateful and love silence.”
Albert Tate
“Leadership isn’t something outside of me that I have to grasp; but it’s something inside of me that I have to grow.”
“Jesus didn’t just turn over tables; he turned over a whole system of injustice.”
“It’s hard to turn over a table of injustice if you’re sitting comfortably at it.”
“Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean you’re worthless. Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean you get canceled.”
“Cancel culture is not Christian.”
“If Jesus didn’t cancel Judas, then guess what? I can’t cancel you.”
“Who would be surprised by your compassion if you poured it on them?”
“One of the worst things that can happen to you isn’t a life of failure, it’s success–success the wrong way.”
“Just because you’re done, doesn’t mean God is.”
“Let’s lead, not for likes tonight, but let’s lead for a legacy tomorrow.”
