Our greatest fear in life should not be failure, but succeeding at things

in life that don’t really matter.Francis Chan

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew

Uncommon People are guided by a noble PURPOSE

Uncommon is the result of a CHOICE

“It is not that the Christian ideal has tried and found wanting; it has been found

difficult and left untried.” G.K. Chesterton

Uncommon is the result of COMMITMENT

But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ Lk 14:17

Uncommon is the result of COMMITMENT

If it is important to you, you will find a way. If it is not important, you will find an excuse.

There is a LIE that exists between a promise and an excuse.

Uncommon is the result of CONTRIBUTION

We do Common Things in a very Uncommon Way

“Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Mark 9:35

Uncommon is the result of CONTRIBUTION

“If you can’t feed 100 people, then feed just one.”

Mother Teresa
