You Can Make it!

Inspiration is the key ingredient to success. Why? Inspiration leads to hope. Hope leads to vision. Vision leads to action. Action leads to change.  Change opens doors to your future. 

For many years I have been a pastor, leader, consultant, coach, writer, mentor and speaker.  After working with thousands of people, I learned that there is something we all need a lot of . . . inspiration.

 As I write, COVID-19 has paralyzed the world, and on top of that, we are in the clutches racial unrest and convulsive change. The world presently looks like a pretty bleak place. We thought we were seeing light at the end of the COVID tunnel, but it turned out to be a locomotive speeding towards us in the form of hatred of one another simply based upon the color of our skin. We’re looking into the mirror of our own humanity and what we see is not a pretty sight. Seems like everyone has an axe to grind. On another front, many of us will never recover from financial ruin caused by this crisis. And, for most of us, these issues, as we know them, are “first-world” perspectives. For the much larger developing world, multiply all these issues many times over and you’ll likely still fall short of reality. Whether you sweep floors or run a corporation, inspiration is in short supply.

 By the world’s standards, I’m a pretty successful guy. I have a great family and lots of good friends. I am well educated and have experienced a fulfilling career as a pastor and leader.  I’ve been a visionary, hard-driving person my entire life and most folks would view me as very optimistic. Yet, rarely a day passes that I couldn’t use some uplifting, inspirational news.  Perhaps you’re a bit like me. If so, join me on the inspiration trail . . .
