The power of words

I have started reading the book "Aspire" by Kevin Hall. The Forward by Stephen Covey is inspirational on its own.
I have read two words that has made me reflect on my journey with the John Maxwell Team. "Ollin" This describes a powerful event, like an earthquake or great storm that shakes the earth. It conveys intense and immediate movement. Ollin means to move or act now with all your heart.
The second word I have learnt is Genshai (pronounced GEN-shy) meaning that you should never treat another person in a manner that would make them feel small.
When you beat up upon yourself you are making yourself feel small. I think of the bible verse Isaiah 55: 8 & 9 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
God never thinks small thoughts of us or treats us as small.
I love the people in the John Maxwell Team, everyone is so encouraging and uplifting of everyone.
Why don't you get Ollin and Genshai everyone.
