  1. Leaders get men to leave a covered position and assault a fortified position… If you are disliked or distrusted by people in my experience, the men I lead in and out of combat over 23 years, they need to believe that you will take the 1st bullet and you, other than closing and destroying the enemy, will do everything you can to make sure they live and their welfare is as important as yours even theirs is more important than yours enough to give up your life for them.
    In return those men will die or fight for you, that's powerful to influence others in this way! That's why leadership is an art, not everyone is a leader, also a good leader is a good follower! Men or women will not respect nor follow a person who always beats them down, although there's a time and place for the former, usually to save someone from doing something that will result in their and others lives being lost. As a leader you're a father, mother, wife, husband, friend, disciplinarian and most of all human, same as they are but they should know when it's time for that assault, you'll be the 1st one to lead it, not because you are Superman or impervious to death because as I just mentioned… You're a father, mother, etc and most love their children!

  2. One in Christ

    " Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves."

  3. True and this goes for difficult people as well. People can be annoying. Incompetent. Ridiculous. But as I told my own subscribers, you have to make an attempt not to hurt them. And usually that means even their feelings. You have to understand that many will have annoying traits that are not necessarily bullying traits but just what they are–annoying. And usually this type of behavior comes from their own internal unrest. As one of my Muay Thai coaches said: if a tiger attacks you in the jungle you must draw your knife and kill it. But if a little dog was nipping at your heels would you kick it to death? No, you move it gently out of the way. And that is the effort you have to make with people. Not everyone is strong, most aren't warriors. They aren't confident therefore have to be dealt with gently like the above analogy. And if you do that daily, you will find that it reflects back and gives you only more tranquility. Hope this helps someone out there—Charles

  4. This is beautiful! I try my best to be kind and compassionate, although I'm not the best at it. I tend to be blunt and I feel bad when I hurt people's feelings. I try my best to do kind things for everyone. My default position is to like most people. I'm thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life and I want to do an even better job showing it.

  5. Let's be the change! The more we help others, the more things work out! This is the secret to life! We only have a short time here on earth, do the good when you think to do it…don't just be a bystander.
