The 13th Virtue

Application in your life:

The 13th virtue is humility. My favorite subject and topic is humility. It is something all of us can do. There is a season to go after your dreams, but there is also a season to serve someones else's dream. The best way to learn leadership is to serve under a gifted leader.
The best path to your dream isn't seeking a position of leadership; it's posturing yourself as a servant.
There is a saying that the man on top of the mountain didn't just fall there. It took the process and the struggle to reach that point. It also probably took others around him to reach that point. It takes a team to reach the highest level possible.

Biggest Takeaway:

"Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." Matthew 23:12

Humble yourself each and every day and the process will take care of itself. Don't seek opportunity; seek God, and opportunity will seek you.

Quotes:

Do not seek a leadership position instead seek a servant position
Matthew 23:12

If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.

Are You A Gap Filler?

What is Gap Filler You May Ask? A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them. When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps. It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

A Dream Within a Dream

Summary: In the second chapter of Chase the Lion, we come to the Wright brothers and how they had a dream that was actually inspired by there dads interest in birds. They later came to be the first humans to fly. Inception is another topic in how we are to perceive our dreams. Inception is a dream within a dream within a dream, in our non-fiction life we can look and see that as a sign that our dream necessarily doesn't come from us. God can expose our dreams to us through other individuals. For the Wright brothers, it was a book they read when they were 29. It could be your parents, teachers, or coaches dream. It comes down to how you interact with other people, life is about relationships you never know who may plant a dream in you that is waiting to be revealed. Our greatest legacy isn't our dream.
