PowerTalk - Be Consistently Aggressive

I wish to be wealthy.

I commit to be healthy.

Who can tell the difference?

This talk is about being aggressive -- about the goals and dreams in our hearts; not about the bold, fierce, aggressive personality.

There is no successful person who is not aggressive.

God's Words:

James 1:7-8

"If you are unable to make up your mind and are undecided in all you do, you must not think that you will receive anything from the Lord."

John 14:12

"Most assuredly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."

Proverbs 10:4

"Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth."

Proverbs 18:9

"One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys."

Filipinos are polite, courteous; but we are not aggressive.
