as a leader

You won't remember when you retire what you did in the first quarter...or the third. What you'll remember is how many people you developed, how many people you helped have a better career because of your interest and your dedication to their development...When confused as to how you're doing as a leader, find out how the people you lead are doing. You'll know the answer.

Truth = Jesus

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free....

- John 8:32
Maybe someone said this to me before but now then I realised. "The truth" is not about a fact or doctrine. It's a Person.

Reminds me of what Ravi Zacharias said in a podcast. When you come to church, you didn't come to a place. You came to a Person.

...So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

- John 8:36

sexual sin

If you think you can't fall into sexual sin, then you are godlier than David, stronger than Samson and wiser than Solomon.

our struggle is not against flesh and blood

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

- Ephesians 6:10-20

Lazy

I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
