Get It Done, Don't Worry About Getting Credit

What is your goal?

What is the goal of your family?

What is the goal of your business?

What is the goal of your team?

What dreams do you have?

Is your desire to achieve your goals and see your dreams become reality, or is your desire to receive the credit and glory for what is accomplished?

A successful family, business, team, or any other organization or entity consists of individuals who are focused on the goal or the dream rather than being focused on the glory and credit that comes from achieving the goal or realizing the dream.

The 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, is quoted as saying, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

I have witnessed men and women who have destroyed relationships, families, businesses, teams, and dreams all because they cared more about making sure people gave them the credit than they did about seeing something great occur.

As we approach the beginning of 2010 my counsel is simply this; get it done and stop worrying about who receives the glory. There will be enough credit to go around when something great is accomplished. Now, get off your rear end and get going on whatever it is you have been called to do.

Merry Christmas!

Remember that without Christ there is no Christmas.

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

Refuse to allow the world dictate what you believe, celebrate Jesus!

Slow down enough to fully enjoy the blessings God has for you this year.

In Christ,

Stop and Start

Stop looking for others to do something for you and begin doing things for others.

Stop looking for others to be a friend to you and begin being a friend to others.

Stop complaining about what's not right in your life and start being thankful for what is right.

Stop blaming others for your mistakes and failures and start taking responsibility for your own life.

Stop living pessimistically in life and begin living optimistically in life.

Stop tearing others down and begin building others up.

Stop spending so much time worrying about things you cannot control and begin spending more time in prayer.

Stop reading this and go change someone’s life for the good.

Why Not You?

Someone will be used in a great way today!

Someone will change the life of another today!

Someone will encourage others to reach new heights today!

Someone will sacrifice for the benefit of others today!

Someone will demonstrate faithful and unending love today!

Someone will be sold out for God today!

Why not let that someone be you today!
