Orrin Woodward Leadership Team

Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

Randy Forbes - A Christian Nation

by Orrin Woodward on Mon 15 Jun 2009 09:39 AM EDT

Here is a powerful message by Randy Forbes on the historical foundations of the United States. Many of the political ideas that formed the U.S. Constitution were captured from European thinkers like Locke, Montesque, Cicero, Plato etc. Locke's ideas were, in the main, a watered down version of the thoughts flowing from Oliver Cromwell's protectorate. Ideas of inalienalble rights given by our Creator, that law is from a higher source than man, and even the division of powers because of man's falleness - are all based upon a Biblical understanding of man and God. We don't have to agree with each other to agree to read the books for ourselves. The worst thing to do is to take a soundbite and repeat it until you believe it. That is not education, but propaganda. Educate yourself by reading the books that formed the ideas used by the Founders of America. Anything else is just plain mental lazineness. American's cannot afford to be lazy any longer. God Bless, Orrin Woodward

Orrin Woodward Twitter

by Orrin Woodward on Sun 24 May 2009 10:44 PM EDT

Back in the middle of December, Art Jonak convinced me to open up a Twitter account and start learning about the world of micro-blogging through texting. I have enjoyed the experience and made many new friends even getting listed as one of the Top 250 Most Interesting People on Twitter. Sometime this week, my twitter account will surpass 45,000 followers! Many people have commented kindly on Chris Brady and my best seller - Launching a Leadership Revolution through twitter. I like to share quotes and thoughts about leadership with the twitter tribe to help people grow. It is incredible how quickly news can spread through the power of texting over thousands of peoples phones and computers. The world is definitely changing and the people who learn leadership, social networking, and the power of Tribes will win in the new econonomy. God Bless, Orrin Woodward

New Proposed Preamble to the Constitution

by Orrin Woodward on Fri 24 Apr 2009 11:26 AM EDT

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA (Update: The author is not Mitchell Kaye, but that does not make the principles any less true.)This guy should run for President one day...

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm.. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes .

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair..

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others.. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly....)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

Susan Boyle - I Dream a Dream

by Orrin Woodward on Wed 15 Apr 2009 10:54 PM EDT

This is one of the most inspiring videos of all-time! I love this video because it displays the amazing talents that lie buried in each of us. I have witnessed so many transformations through the TEAM personal development training. Many who were written off in life have blossomed with the right environment and right information. Susan shared her inner beauty and gifts with the world. Don't you think that it is time for the world to see your inner beauty and gifts? Susan teaches us, yet again, that it is never too late to dream. 2009 is the year to shine! Thank you Susan Boyle for daring to dream and sharing your dream with all of us! God Bless, Orrin Woodward

I Dream a Dream Lyrics

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame.

And still
I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different form this hell I'm living
so different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
