Great leaders go the extra mile to establish meaningful connections with the people around them. They know that it takes effort and energy on their part to truly make a difference for others.

[Destry Brown @Destry1980]

Have you been caught in the Trying Trap? Great leaders do not try. They just do. They have the expectation they can and they will. Trying always give us a way out, an excuse for failing. Doing is where greatness exists!

Leading your family well is the first and most important responsibility of a leader. Great leaders have learned that in order to impact the lives of others, their first and greatest investment is in their family relationships.

[Destry Brown @Destry1980]

Great leaders look at their past differently. Their past victories and failures are used to strengthen them so that something new can be created. They use the past to help them grow so they can branch out in new ways. I think that is called wisdom.

Setting and accomplishing goals give us a beginning and end point. But, what we learn along the way is more valuable. The personal growth we experience on the journey, prepares us for even greater things. Be proud of your accomplishments and of what you learned along the way!

The seeds of kindness and encouragement that you sow are never wasted. Sow generously! Your kind and encouraging words will make someone’s day today, especially your own. Make today a great one!

[Destry Brown @Destry1980]

Great leaders grow by asking questions. They are not afraid to ask the tough questions because knowing the perceptions of those around them help them adapt and change as they hunger to improve. What questions do I need to ask today that will positively impact my tomorrow?

[Destry Brown @Destry1980]

Growth happens fastest when we step outside what is comfortable and do what others say can’t be done. Believe what is in your heart and step out with confidence knowing that you were made to make a difference!

What do you see in the people around you? Do you fixate on their appearance, their actions, their past? Or, do you see opportunities to serve and value them. Serve someone extravagantly today and make a difference!

[Destry Brown @Destry1980]

You can only make a difference by shifting your focus from yourself to others. Look around you. Who needs you to make a difference for them today? Be amazing, be extraordinary, make a difference!

[Destry Brown @Destry1980]

Have you noticed that the happiest people serve and add value to others? Make a difference today by adding value to the people around you. You will not only bring happiness to others but to yourself.

There are times that you work hard and do all the right things and still fall a little short of your goal. That is not the time to give up. That is the time to model perseverance that will focus and mature your team so that you might surpass even your own expectations.

“What you have known and what you have done hinders you from being what you could become.” - John Maxwell. So, how do we grow past what we know and experience? Please share some ways you stretch yourself into unknown places so you can then grow exponentially.

Meeting the needs of kids will sometimes force us out of our comfort zone. Do whatever it takes for kids. Make a difference!
