Eliminate The Option To Turn Back
I have felt an intense calling to serve foster and adoptive children and families via Counseling. I’m at the bottom of my career, but feel the weight of being faithful in little, so that I’ll be faithful in much. We ALL have a circle of impact. These are some quotes that inspired me that I hope will inspire you about leadership I learned the past two days at a leadership training:
1. Eliminate the options to turn back when you have a conviction, a calling, vision or task. Put yourself in a position of no retreat, even if it is uncomfortable and costs something.
2. God guides by what he provides, but also by what he withholds.
3. If you commit to WHAT (for me that’s serving foster and adoptive children and families) and consumed by WHY (healing, redemption, hope, seeing families transform etc.) you will make a way.
4. Step into your call no matter how unworthy you feel and change how you see yourself. Step out of fear, step out of doubts and step into your calling!
5. People are afraid to tell leaders when something is wrong, if you have a strong voice use it for the next person that comes after you that may not.
6. Be an environment where people feel free to speak.
7. Don’t say “I’m too young”, because there’s never a perfect time to step out and lead. The time is now.
8. Instead of valuing control, value connection.
9. Disruption and discomfort is not a threat, it is an invitation to grow. There is no changing the future without disturbing the present.
10. Too often we think we have to compromise to open the door to God’s destiny for us. Do not compromise yourself in belief that you must to achieve.
11. We compromise to fit and keep our head down, but it’s not about if I fit, it’s about where I’m supposed to be.
12. *it has never been done until YOU do it*
13. The dilemma is when I see injustice, something wrong, or have an idea do I speak out or just try to fit in? But at what cost does keeping your voice muted come? Stop being quiet! You have to be bold to do what you need to do.
14. Decide that you are going to add value to all the lives around you and make your life count.
15. Seeing justice that disturbs is an invitation to make change.
16. God is a God of justice, he is a God of leadership. Give him your “yes” and he will provide all you need.
17. It is only impossible until it’s done- what will you do with your influence?
18. Challenge the status quo, empower people, multiply the vision through connection and empowerment with others.
19. Be unashamed of the Gospel! Do what you say you will do. Be who you say you are.
20. Be someone with radical, redemptive inclusion. Invite people to tell their stories. Especially when you see something you don’t understand or that offends. Be genuinely curious.
21. Leaders need to be in proximity of those who need them. Be available!
22. There is treasure inside children from trauma that other people see as trouble. Find the treasure and be a safe place for them to heal and grow
