- Realize you have a unique contribution to the world.
"Don’t do what others can do and will do when there are so many things that others cannot do and will not do". – Dawson Trotman
- Keep time for God, your first and vital necessity.
- Realize that serving God and His people will cost you something.
So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less? 2 Cor. 12:15 (NIV)
- Learn to say NO and accept criticism for doing so.
- There will NEVER be a time when you will get it ALL done - when you will have enough time to pray as much as you think you should, witness as much, study as much...
