I f I am Free To Be Me; I have a choice. I would like a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino (extra chocolate). Freedom is a very attractive thing. Most of us probably want money and success so that we can ultimately have freedom.
“I can do what I want too and no one can make me do anything else”,
“I can go anywhere I want to go, anytime I want to go there”.
That is freedom that we would all love to have.
Ok…..freedom largely involves choice; right. How free is free? Where does it begin and end ?

N ot every question in this list will help you in every situation. This is simply a check list to help you keep from overlooking important considerations before confirming and carrying out major decisions.
1. At it's essence - in one sentence - what is the decision I'm really facing? What is the bottom, bottom line?
2. Am I dealing with a cause or a symptom? A means or an end?
3. Am I thinking about this situation with a clear head or am I fatigued to the point that I shouldn't be making any major decisions.
4. What would the ideal solution be in this situation?
5. Should I seek outside counsel in making this decision?
6. What are the hidden agendas that are pushing for a decision in this situation? Why do we or they want a change? What is the source of the emotional fuel that is driving this decision?
7. If I had to decide in the next two minutes - what decision would I make and why?
8. What decision would I expect each of my three most respected advisors to favor in this situation?
9. Can an overall decision in this situation be divided into parts, with sub-decision.

P ersonal power and charisma are not mysterious. Some believe that one cannot earn it or learn it. This is not true. The effectiveness of your communications determines the effectiveness of your life.
- Leaders whom people respect and follow are those who are able to communicate effectively. They have a dynamic presence.
- If you desire to make a difference, you will have to learn to communicate with a powerful presence. You must be able to communicate what you want to get done in the church, in the ministry, and in life.
- The pulpit is no greater than the evangelist or pastor who fills it on a weekly basis.
- If the preacher is boring to the congregation, the people will think God is boring.
- Some ministers have style without substance while others have substance without style.
- Many souls are not saved because the sermon was never delivered to the lost.
- It is possible for the preacher to speak the message, use up a portion of time, give an altar call, and still not accomplish the intended purpose of the sermon.
Many ministers of the Gospel spend most of their time thinking about what they are going to say to the audience, yet the average person is persuaded more by feelings than by facts. Mannerisms, gestures, head movements, facial expressions, platform movement, eye contact and clothing project the overall presence of the presenter.

It is very easy just to say:
- "I can`t do it"
- It is impossible
- It is too hard
- I don't have the money
- I am too tired
- I don`t have the necessary experience
A very used and religious way of saying it:
- God can do it (But I can`t)
- It is only possible for God (I have given up)
- For God nothing is too hard (but it is for me)
- God has all the resources (but I don`t)
- God must give strength (because mine is finish)
Don`t have a negative attitude!
