“The first quality that is needed is audacity.”
Winston Churchill
Be audacious enough to believe you can achieve whatever you set your heart upon. Then make the right decisions for success. We have an incredible path paved before us by Orrin Woodward and the other Team leaders. If we begin with 3 primary areas to focus and decide to pursue we will achieve success to a level most people will never see in their lifetime.
1. Seek Continual Growth.
Happiness can be found in growth. It is out of growth that we live and through growth that we give. We must ask ourselves what it is that we are learning right now… today. As Orrin would ask, what is stretching me out of my comfort zone?
2. Become a Servant Leader.
To lead is to be first, out front. To serve is to focus on the needs of others before ourselves. Focus on the needs of others before your own reward. Do not wait until you get something out of a relationship before you give to it. It will not come until you first nourish. Deny yourself the “what’s in it for me” mentality that permeates our culture with a rotting stench. Give first and the reward will follow. "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve." Jeremiah 17:10
3. Attitude! Attitude! Attitude!
Our success is not determined by what life brings us but by how we respond to it. We must remember that our attitude is always a choice and it’s our choice to make… no one makes it for us.
With the Team system that Orrin Woodward has created, developed, expanded and refined, any person can pursue greatness with the odds of achieving it stacked in their favor. As we reflect upon the choices we’ve made thus far… and as we look to make them better in the future with the guidance of those that have gone before… let us never forget that it is the next one that holds the power of the present.
Decide! And have the audacity to begin it.
