Greetings, Summit Leaders.

Do you wonder why you are here and what your purpose is as a leader?

People become great leaders as they intentionally seek to find the answers to these two questions.

When studying great leaders' lives, we see that they develop a sense of being called to impact people or a vision for themselves. Usually, the most inspiring leaders seek to improve the lives of others through their gifts, talents, and abilities. 

Here are some describing statements about leaders with determination.

* Ezra was a great leader of ancient times who set his heart to study, practice and teach others the fundamental principles that show how to create fruitful lives and enjoy abundant living.  
     
* Daniel purposed in his heart not to pursue customs counter to his vision for his life.

* He set his face like flint to continue on his mission.

* Deborah is one of the most influential women in history. She is known for her wisdom, courage, and determination to do right. She was resolute in her faith and action when others hesitated and changed the course of a nation.

A sense of destiny and calling empowered these people on their journey as leaders. They made up their minds. They felt compelled to a critical mission in their hearts, so they worked diligently to bring about the results they envisioned.

Their lives have a definite purpose, so they set priorities that help them fulfill their calling.

They understand the need to be intentional with their lives. A determined leader inspires confidence and strengthens those around them.

Others will rely on the leader's will in times of struggle to gain confidence and courage to keep going forward.

Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, is an excellent example of determined leadership. He started with just one store, which grew into over 11,000 stores worldwide and is the second-largest retailer in America. 

"Each Wal-Mart store should reflect its customers' values and support the vision they hold for their community." 

"Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. 

"I have always been driven to buck the system, innovate, and take things beyond where they've been."

Sam's belief in people, humility, and determination are three qualities of all great leaders.

"If you take someone who lacks the experience and the know-how but has the real desire and the willingness to work his tail off to get the job done, he'll make up for what he lacks. And that proved true nine times out of ten." Sam Walton

Wealth was an overflow from a passion for pursuing his calling in the face of many challenges. 

"Where many see challenges, others see opportunity." Summit Leader

Sam Walton is an excellent example of what happens when we have the right motives and belief that we have a purpose and calling in life.

"It is a story about entrepreneurship, and risk, and hard work, and knowing where you want to go and being willing to do what it takes to get there. And it's a story about believing in your idea even when maybe some other folks don't, and about sticking to your guns." Sam Walton 

Are you determined, purposed in your heart, made up in your mind, and set your face like flint for your life and career?  

You are an example for others to follow!

Lead the way!

Victory!
