People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.

Image
In the end, as a leader, you are always going to get a combination of two things: what you create and what you allow.
Henry Cloud
Image
That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the who you are as much as the what of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can't do the latter without the former.

Encourage literally came from in courage. The courage is put into you from outside. Our character and abilities grow through internalizing from others what we do not possess in ourselves.

Oftentimes, churches are started by an entrepreneurial church plant visionary whom everybody follows, but he's not following anybody. Even though he's accountable to a board, he's really not. Authority's a good thing, and if it's not forced upon you as a leader, then I suggest, strongly, that you go buy some.

Dating is about finding out who you are and who others are. If you show up in a masquerade outfit, neither is going to happen.

Image
Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating.
Henry Cloud

A person who hasn't grieved a significant loss has unfinished business inside and can cause others great grief as a result.

There is a big difference between hurt and harm. We all hurt sometimes in facing hard truths, but it makes us grow. It can be the source of huge growth. That is not harmful. Harm is when you damage someone. Facing reality is usually not a damaging experience, even though it can hurt.
