Perry Noble’s website <\/a>\u00a0contains the following items he wished he’d learned earlier in life. They resonnated with me so I reprinted them here.<\/p>\n

#1 – Everyone Will Not Understand You…SO Stop Trying To Explain Yourself. Cast Vision…And MOVE Forward!<\/p>\n

#2 – Everyone Will Not Like You…So STOP Trying To Be Popular.<\/p>\n

#3 – You Don’t Have To Be The Person Who Actually Solves Every Problem….Admit You Are Not The Smartest Person and Let Your Experts Be Your Experts.<\/p>\n

#4 – Spend WAY More Time Talking About Who You Are Rather Than Who You Are Not.<\/p>\n

#5 – A Leader Is Always An Easy Target Because They Are…A Leader. So, Get Over Yourself And Get On With What God Called You To Do!<\/p>\n

#6 – When The Holy Spirit Presses Something Into Your Heart…Don’t Ignore Him.<\/p>\n

#7 – Do NOT Expect God’s Next Step To Make Sense.<\/p>\n

#8 – You Can’t Plan A Move Of God…But You Must Be Prepared For One!<\/p>\n

#9 – Do Not Resist Something Just Because You Do Not Understand It!<\/p>\n

#10 – People Who Claim You “Are Not Deep Enough” Are Obsessed With Information But Have No Desire To Live Out Transformation.<\/p>\n

#11 – You Don’t Need To Listen To Everybody…But You Had Better Be Listening To Somebody Because God Didn’t Ask You To Take This Journey Alone.<\/p>\n

#12 – Never Apologize For Asking People To Commit To Something…Jesus Didn’t!<\/p>\n

#13 – The Church Has Been Underachieving For Way Too Long…So Dream BIG And Don’t Apologize For It.<\/p>\n

#14 – There Will Be Days When You Want To Quit…Don’t…Jesus Didn’t! (Remember…DON’T GIVE UP…if you are discouraged, take a second and read this!)<\/p>\n

#15 – The Gospel Changes Lives…PREACH Every Sermon Like It’s Your Last!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
