CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition and conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:1-4

As leaders we need to look to the needs of others and not just ourselves. Leadership is not about being in front or making everyone do things your way. Leadership is humbly looking after the needs of others around you and putting others before yourself.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Psalm 1 written from memory

Oh the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked

Or stand around with sinners, or join in with mokers.

But their delight is in the law of the Lord

And they meditate on it day and night.

They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season

Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all that they do.

But not the wicked. They are like worthless chaff scattered by the wind.

They will be condemned at the time of judgement. Sinners will have no place among the godly.

For the Lord watches over the path of the godly. But the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

Back to Drifter: I encourage you guys to memorize some scripture. It is the best way to meditate on it.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I grew up loving the Rocky movies. It was the underdog story that really interested me. Recently I was watching a video that referenced Buster Douglas and Mike Tyson fight where Mike Tyson was heavily favored. Mike Tyson was coming into the fight undefeated. Buster Douglas was knocked down in the 8th round of the fight and no one gave him a chance to come back in the fight. He kept swinging and knocked Mike Tyson out/ won the fight in the 10th round. With his back against the wall, knocked down on the mat and the whole world thinking he would lose, he kept swinging and prevailed. When life has us against the ropes and knocks us out, just keep punching because it’s not over.

When asked about what helped him keep going to win the fight, Buster Douglas said his mother gave him the motivation. She had just died but told Buster he would win and knock out Mike Tyson. Just remember there is always someone in your corner standing behind your punches no matter who may not believe in you.
