They may take our lives . . . BUT THEY’LL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!!
Most of the time when we think of verbal leadership, we think of Hollywood speeches with the hero inspiring countless individuals to follow him into battle like the movies Braveheart, Gladiator, or 300.
We also might think of Tim Tebow giving the “Promise” speech and then backing it up on the way to a national championship.
We may not be Michael Jordan, Tim Tebow, Kobe Bryant, or William Wallace in Braveheart, but we all can be verbal leaders.
In fact, as long as we have a tongue, we should be verbal leaders.
Let me say that again for the people in the back…
Not only can we all be verbal leaders but we all should be verbal leaders.
“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.” (Carl Gustav Jung)
I heard an interview with MVP Steph Curry the other night after Game 6 of the NBA Finals, in which he made a comment that got me thinking about my pre-maritial counseling.
