Leaders are and must be determined to make a difference. Leaders are truly and completely focused on making and seeing a differencea difference in those they lead, a difference in their project, a difference in their market, a difference in themselves, etc.

An individual said, "If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep obtaining what you've got." That's why leaders carry such a relentless, full-throttle, passionate determination to get out with the ruts and to produce a distinction. Once again, I want to remind you that the almighty dollar can't be the object of the true leader's passion.

When you make a profitable, prosperous difference in life, you are sowing a seed. There is a universal, unalterable law that whatever you sow, you will reap. So, if you focus on making a difference in life, in those around you, in your environment, then you will reap that in your own life and part of what you reap is financial reward. But, if you focus on just "getting," then you will reap that in those around you; they will also be trying to "get" from you.

F.A.I.T.H. Whenever I see the word faith, I think "Find Answers Within the Heart." Proverbs 4:23 says Maintain your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of everyday living. You see, down in the heart is the key to the mystery of the existence. It requires a super-determination to seek that out in those you lead and in yourself. A large component of determination is excavating the heart.

Determination - Life's Rudder. I like to sail on open waters. I've owned sailing vessels, and one with the things I've learned is that a rudder is absolutely essential to sailing. The rudder may be the broad, flat sheet of wood or metal that is hinged vertically on the stern of the boat. Most with the rudder is below the water. By turning it, you control the direction from the boat. Without having a rudder, a sailing vessel will literally spin around in circles. With no determination, a everyday living will literally spin in circles. As soon as storms hit you (and they'll hit you!), your everyday living boat will be taken by the waves as well as the wind. Without a rudder, you can end up hitting the shoals of life and breaking apart. Never underestimate the power of determination!
