There aren't many people that don't appreciate the incredible taste of really good salsa on a nice warm, crisp tortilla chip. We have a local restaurant that serves the best salsa. Tomatoes on the other hand, not so much! Not sure what it is, but I don't enjoy tomato slices or little red cherry tomatoes but chop or blend that thing up with some peppers, onions, and jalapeños, then we're talking.
The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. - Charles DuBois
A very key part of leadership is understanding that we have not arrived and can continually learn or be challenged. Part of leadership is helping people cope with change which means we must be flexible and ready for anything that comes our way. None of us that are reading this have finished the race, but we should all be striving toward the goal to what God is directing us to. This will always require us to sacrifice who we are to become what we need to be. For me, the tomato isn't so good, but when it is changed to become part of the salsa that we all love, that's a great thing.
What if daily we choose to sacrifice part of who we are to become someone that speaks life into others? What if our influence and leadership could grow because we sacrifice our pride, position, or selfishness? May we at any moment sacrifice who we are for what we can become. May we at any moment sacrifice who we are for what our family, business, relationships, or ministry can become. Let's sacrifice what we are today so that tomorrow we can enlarge our influence and help see lives changed.
For Life
