#MylesSpeaks – The Hearts of Men

By: Myles W. Miller

“Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.”

– Pete Hoekstra

One of the last conversations I had with my mother while she was still here on earth centered on accountability and leadership. The topic arose because a well-known pastor had experienced a very public and devastating fall from grace. The church he served was hurting. The broader community was shaken. Trust had been fractured.

I remember saying to my mother that I could not understand why people were being so harsh and judgmental. After all, I reasoned, he was still a man. Fallible. Human. No different from the rest of us.

She did not hesitate.

“No,” she said firmly. “The moment that man accepted the responsibility to lead, the moment he accepted the assignment to be set apart by God, he also accepted the role of being a role model. And if he fails, we are all affected.”

Her words stopped me.

In that instant, I realized she was not only talking about a pastor. She was talking about leadership itself.

Anyone who steps into a position of authority, visibility, or influence steps into a higher calling and a higher level of accountability. Leadership is not just about titles or platforms. It is about trust. It is about being a living example of what is possible and a visible testimony of what God can do through a willing and disciplined participant.

She wanted me to understand something deeply and permanently. Whether my path led me into ministry, business, politics, academia, or any arena where influence lives, I would be held to a different standard. Not because I was better than others, but because leadership demands more. That expectation is not unfair. It is the very hallmark of leadership.

That lesson has stayed with me.

And it is impossible not to think about it in light of the circumstances unfolding at my alma mater, the University of Michigan.

I will not sugarcoat my disappointment in Coach Moore. The deception, the lack of discipline, and the ripple effects of his actions have caused harm that is deep and, in many ways, irreversible. Opportunities like becoming the Head Football Coach at the University of Michigan do not come lightly. They carry enormous responsibility, not only to win games, but to shape lives.

Such a role carries social and cultural weight that extends far beyond football.

Young men and their families place immense trust in a leader like that, believing he will help develop them into strong, disciplined, honorable men, not just elite athletes. Staff members depend on that leader for stability, integrity, and the advancement of their careers. Families depend on that leadership for livelihoods, security, and direction.

When a leader falls, the impact does not stop at the individual.

Coach Moore’s fall affects his household, his players, his staff, the university, and the broader community that believed in him. It damages trust. It creates disillusionment. It forces people to question the systems and values they once assumed were solid.

This is the weight of leadership.

Leadership is not merely about opportunity. It is about stewardship. It is about understanding that every decision, every shortcut, and every compromise carries consequences far beyond oneself. Leaders do not get the luxury of separating their private actions from their public responsibilities. Influence erases that boundary.

My mother understood that.

And now, years later, I understand it more clearly than ever.

Leadership is a sacred trust. It is not something to be taken lightly, pursued casually, or maintained carelessly. It demands character when no one is watching, discipline when shortcuts are tempting, and humility when success arrives.

Because when leaders rise, many rise with them.

And when leaders fall, they never fall alone.

#MylesSpeaks —🛡️ Unbreakable Resolve: Why No Weapon Formed Against Us Can Prosper

By: Myles W. Miller

“Don’t Ever Give Up, Don’t Ever Quit on Your Dreams!” +Myles

“Although we may be challenged by a defeated foe that still happens to be a worthy adversary, I AM thankful that no weapon formed against us can prosper! It is my prayer that no one can usurp our Divine Authority, bastardize our Divine Assignment, nor prostitute our Divine Assets!” +Myles

In life, we often find ourselves in a peculiar, challenging space. We stand triumphant over a battle. We’ve faced the difficulty, learned the lesson, and emerged victorious. Yet, the defeated foe doesn’t always vanish. It lingers, sometimes surprisingly, still acting as a worthy adversary.

This lingering shadow could be a past mistake that keeps trying to define us, an old habit that claws for a foothold, or an external force determined to test our resolve. This is the challenge. This is the crucible.

But this is also where your unbreakable resolve and the power of the my prayer for us shining through.

The Power of Divine Assurance

Our leading quote is a magnificent declaration of faith and self-assurance: “Although we may be challenged by a defeated foe that still happens to be a worthy adversary, I AM thankful that no weapon formed against us can prosper!”

This is not a statement of blind optimism; it’s a testament to belief in God, a higher, guiding force. It’s the core assurance that even when the opponent is strong, tenacious, and seems to constantly reappear, the ultimate outcome is secured. The challenge may be real, but the victory is guaranteed because no strategy or tool designed to cause failure can ultimately succeed against a foundation rooted in Divine Authority.

Guarding the Sacred Trust

The second part of your quote moves from general assurance to specific, fervent prayers for protection over what is most sacred: our purpose and our gifts.

1. Guarding Your Divine Authority

Your Authority is your unique identity, the rightful place you hold in the world, and the power you have been given to execute your purpose.

“It is my prayer that no one can usurp our Divine Authority…”

To usurp means to wrongfully take control. We pray that no one, no person, no fear, no self-doubt, and no outside influence can steal the confidence and power of who we are meant to be and what we are meant to do. This is a prayer for sovereignty over your own life and destiny.

2. Protecting Your Divine Assignment

Your Assignment is your mission, your calling, the unique work that only you can do.

“…bastardize our Divine Assignment…”

To bastardize means to corrupt, diminish, or render illegitimate. We must guard our mission fiercely so that it is not diluted, polluted, or twisted into something it was never meant to be. Our Assignment is meant to be pure, impactful, and authentic and we pray to keep it that way, resisting the pressure to compromise its core truth for temporary gain or acceptance.

3. Preserving Your Divine Assets

Your Assets are your gifts, talents, resources, and everything you have been blessed with to fulfill your Assignment.

“…nor prostitute our Divine Assets!”

To prostitute means to misuse or exploit a valuable thing for a trivial or unworthy purpose. We pray for the integrity to use our gifts (our intelligence, empathy, financial resources, network, time) only in alignment with our highest calling, refusing the temptation to waste them on pursuits that ultimately detract from our true purpose.

🙏 Your Call to Steadfastness

Embrace this powerful declaration today. Be thankful for the protection that surrounds you. Know that the fight is real, and the adversary is worthy, but your Authority is stronger.

Let this prayer be a constant reminder to stay focused, pure, and intentional. When you protect your Authority, Assignment, and Assets, you make a daily commitment to your truest self. And in that commitment, you solidify the truth: No weapon formed against you can prosper.

What part of your “Divine Authority, Assignment, or Assets” feels most challenged in your life right now?

#MylesSpeaks – What If?

“The law of flying was not discovered by the contemplation of things staying on the ground.”

-Dr. Wayne Dyer

What if I never get a Tedx stage? Does that mean I haven’t been a good speaker, although I have delivered speeches on college campuses, at churches and governmental meetings?

What if I never get win awards and get acknowledged for my efforts in the coaching and training industry? Does that mean that I was of no use to my former and future clients, although I walked them through new heights of achievement?

What if my tenure in politics and government never yields an elected office? Does that mean that all of the work I did to build bridges between constituents and their government was for naught?

What if my academic degrees never help me garner the career success that I’ve passionately sought since I was a kid?

How bout this, as I approach another birthday this weekend, I finally give myself the peace to put my best foot forward and not worry about the what ifs! Today, I’m going to allow God to manifest love, abundance, and prosperity through me and employ my energy to make beautiful things come to life!

#MylesSpeaks – Bullseye: The Power of Operating From the Center of Your Assignment

“Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated; thus, everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.”

– Viktor Frankl

I love studying the lives of people who aim with laser-sharp focus and unleash relentless follow-through in the service of their divine assignment. By assignment, I do not mean a line on your résumé or a spot in the org chart, though sometimes those align. I’m talking about that white hot core calling you would pursue even if there were no paycheck, no applause, and no shiny plaque for “Employee of the Month.” Your assignment is your raison d’être, the unrepeatable reason breath still flows through your lungs.

Pinpointing Your Bullseye

What is that thing for you? Maybe it’s baking pies that rival your grandmother’s and turn strangers into family at first bite. Maybe you possess a calming patience that helps crisis-weary souls rediscover peace. Perhaps no engine problem intimidates you; give you a wrench and a prayer, and you’ll have that car purring like a contented kitten. Or maybe you wield such business savvy that chaos bends into order wherever you consult. These passions are breadcrumbs on the trail to purpose. They signal where your unique mix of talent, experience, and holy fire meets the world’s deep hunger.

Yet passion alone is only the arrow. Purpose is the target. Passion energizes you; purpose directs you. When those two align, you hit the bullseye, operating from the absolute center of your assignment.

Why the Center Matters

Picture an archery target: outer rings wobble with distraction, fear, and people-pleasing. The closer you drift to the rim, the wider your circle of activity, but the weaker your impact. Results disperse, effort multiplies, and exhaustion sets in. The center, however, concentrates power. One small circle; maximal penetration. When you stand there, vision clarifies, decisions simplify, and resources, human, financial, and even the serendipitous, gravitate to you.

Operating from the center is not ego; it is stewardship. A bullseye life liberates you to pour your best into the assignment that only you can fulfill, while freeing others to do the same. The world’s ecosystem of purpose starts to hum when each of us holds our rightful post.

Three Questions to Locate Your Center

1. “What breaks my heart enough to move my feet?” Compassion is a compass. The issue that keeps you awake at night often points to where you are called to build daylight.

2. “What comes so naturally to me that I underestimate its value?” Because your gifting feels effortless, you may assume it is common. Hint: it’s not. The mundane to you is magic to someone else.

3. “Where have I seen supernatural momentum?” Track the moments when doors swung open, mentorship appeared, or results came disproportionate to effort. Momentum is heaven’s wink.

Journal through these questions, and patterns will emerge. Share your reflections with a trusted mentor; sometimes we need an outside mirror to recognize our own brilliance.

Staying in the Bullseye Under Pressure

Once you’ve drawn a bead on your center, life will test your aim. Distractions parade as opportunities. Comparison whispers, “Their target looks bigger.” Fear hisses, “What if you miss?” Here are four anchors to keep you steady:

• Vision Statement. Craft a one-sentence declaration of your assignment. Post it where you brush your teeth. If an invitation doesn’t propel that sentence, it’s a polite “no.”

• Rhythm of Renewal. Even archers rest their bowstrings. Schedule Sabbath moments: prayer, exercise, quiet walks to recalibrate.

• Accountability Circle. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your wins yet have permission to call out drift. Lone-wolf purpose quickly turns into lone-wolf burnout.

• Continuous Skill Sharpening. The center demands mastery. Read, take courses, ask questions, iterate. Your gift is divine; your stewardship of it is your worship.

The Ripple Effect of Centered Living

When you aim true, everyone benefits. Families thrive because you’re not chronically stressed from chasing someone else’s dream. Customers sense authenticity and become raving fans. Teams rally around clear, purpose-driven leadership. Most importantly, the next generation receives a living template that says, “It’s possible—and powerful—to build a life around calling rather than convenience.”

Purpose also acts like an internal GPS during seasons of transition. Jobs may shift, industries evolve, and health challenges arise, but your assignment remains a north star. As Viktor Frankl discovered in the crucible of suffering, meaning is a lifeline no external force can sever.

Common Detours—and How to Course-Correct

• People-Pleaser’s Loop. Saying yes to every request, pancakes your schedule, and dilutes effectiveness. Practice the sacred “no,” remembering each refusal is really a deeper yes to your assignment.

• Perfection Paralysis. Waiting until you know everything before you start guarantees stagnation. Excellence is the goal; perfection is a mirage. Launch, learn, iterate.

• Comparison Trap. Someone else’s bullseye will always look shinier at a distance. Stay in your lane; the center rewards authenticity.

When you notice you’ve veered, follow the three-step reset: Pause. Reflect. Realign. Like a GPS, rerouting begins the moment you acknowledge the drift.

A Call to the Line

History doesn’t remember the people who tried to do everything; it remembers those who did the one thing they alone could do. Moses shepherded a nation, Harriet Tubman shepherded the enslaved, and Nikola Tesla shepherded ideas that lit the world. Each operated from the white-hot center of the assignment, and the planet is still glowing from their obedience.

Now it’s your turn. Stand tall, draw back the bow of your passion, and release toward purpose. The world is waiting for the sound of your arrow finding its mark. The echo of that strike will reverberate far beyond your lifetime, carving a legacy only you can sign.

So today, refuse the outer rings. Plant your feet on the bullseye and operate from the center of your assignment—on purpose, with passion, for the glory of the One who entrusted it to you.

Let’s hit the target—together.

#MylesSpeaks – The Heart of a Champion: More Than Just Wins

“The way is not in the sky; the way is in the heart.”

– Buddha

I can still feel the Detroit spring air as if it were yesterday: senior year, Cass Tech versus our crosstown rival Detroit Renaissance on their field. Rivalry tension hung so thick you could taste it.

I opened the game on the bench, eyeing every pitch our young starting catcher received. He was talented, but the strike zone kept drifting, dirt balls skipped away, and you could see the pressure tightening around him—around all of us. Momentum was leaking out of green-and-white uniforms.

Then Coach locked eyes with me and gave the slightest nod. No words, just I need you.

I snapped on the gear, but it felt like I was putting on responsibility itself—leadership, legacy, the weight of an entire season. A knee injury from football had ended my gridiron career and limited my catching reps, so I’d been splitting time at first base and right. Yet for a burst, I could still own the dish.

Behind the plate I calmed the pitcher, re-earned the umpire’s trust, and turned every block, frame, and throw into a statement: We’re not folding. Renaissance started pressing, gambling on the bases. Twice I called for pitch-outs, twice I sprang up and fired lasers to second—cutting down their speed demon and silencing their dugout.

Two attempts. Two outs. Momentum reclaimed.

Energy surged through our bench. And when I stepped into the batter’s box, the fire kept burning—I went 3-for-3, driving in five runs. Each swing, each throw, each shout of belief said to my brothers, I’ve got you.

We still lost the game. Yet when the final out settled and I hobbled back toward the dugout, Coach pointed at me, nodded once more, and said, “Yes, sir.” In that moment I won something deeper than a scoreboard: respect, trust, brotherhood.

Greatness isn’t always tallied in victories. Sometimes it’s measured in how fiercely you fight for something bigger than yourself, how ready you are when your number is called—even if you didn’t start. It’s measured in heart that no injury can steal and spirit no setback can contain.

That day became my legacy, and I carry it into every arena of life: Step up. Stabilize the team. Leave everything on the field—for love, for brotherhood, for the call.

#MylesSpeaks – “Righteous Rage: Unleashing the Power They Told Me to Hide”

“Anger is a gift when used to drive action.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

I used to think my hot temper was a bad thing.

Growing up, I was constantly told to tone it down — that my passion, my fire, my refusal to just go along to get along — would one day get me in trouble. My parents, teachers, even people who claimed to love me, would warn, “Don’t make waves,” or “Don’t be so intense.” They were afraid. And in turn, they taught me to fear the very fire that made me me.

For a long time, I tried to obey.

I tried to blend in.

I tried to hold back.

I tried to bite tongue.

But it felt like being a prizefighter with a vicious right hook, asked to shadowbox for life — never allowed to strike, never allowed to win.

And for what? So no one else would feel uncomfortable? So I wouldn’t outshine someone else’s mediocrity? So I wouldn’t “rock the boat” while I drowned inside?

But here’s what I know now:

Some doors in life only open when you get angry enough to kick them down.

Some breakthroughs only happen when you stop being polite about your pain.

Some destinies only unlock when you stop hiding your power and start wielding it.

My temper? That fire?

It wasn’t the problem.

It was the clue.

It was the signal that I couldn’t live quietly in a world that needed my roar.

It was the energy I needed to rebel against complacency, against injustice, against mediocrity — in myself and in others.

When your soul gets fed up with “just enough”…

When your spirit refuses to sit still in stagnation…

That’s not dysfunction.

That’s divine discontent.

The world doesn’t benefit from you playing small.

No one wins when your greatness is concealed.

But when you allow that righteous rage to be transformed into purposeful action, you stop fighting people — and start fighting for something.

That’s when your power becomes a force for good.

So to anyone who’s ever been told to simmer down, sit still, or be less:

Maybe your fire isn’t your flaw.

Maybe it’s your fuel.

Light it up.

Affirmative Action of the Day – June 1, 2025

“Pursue Your Dreams With Brilliant Boldness!”

#MylesSpeaks

“If you don’t make bold moves, the world doesn’t move forward.”

– Sir Richard Branson

Have you ever had a dream so vivid, so powerful, that it lit a fire inside you? A vision that whispered—or maybe shouted—that you were destined for something greater? Today’s Affirmative Action of the Day is a divine reminder and challenge to “Pursue Your Dreams With Brilliant Boldness!”

We live in a world that often tries to tame our brilliance and shrink our boldness. Whether it’s through fear, doubt, past failures, or the opinions of others, so many people end up playing small. They settle. They coast. They hide. But not you. Not today. You’ve come too far, been through too much, and learned too many lessons to shrink now. This is your moment to rise.

What is Brilliant Boldness?

Brilliant boldness is not reckless arrogance. It is enlightened confidence. It’s knowing that your dreams matter, your vision is valid, and your life is a divine assignment. Boldness is the refusal to let fear have the final say. Brilliance is the clarity, the strategy, and the intentional light you bring with you as you move forward.

When you pursue your dreams with brilliant boldness, you are embracing:

• Clarity of Purpose – You know what drives you.

• Courage in Action – You move even when the path is unclear.

• Faith in Your Potential – You believe that what you’ve been given is enough to get started.

• Commitment to Growth – You accept that the journey will shape you just as much as the destination will reward you.

Why Boldness Is Necessary

Dreams are not passive. They don’t manifest by osmosis. They require movement—decisive, intentional movement. Boldness propels you past your comfort zone. Boldness makes room for you in rooms that were never built with you in mind. Boldness says, “I belong here” before anyone else can affirm it.

Remember: fear is loud, but it’s not your truth. Doubt is persistent, but it’s not your destiny. Your dreams deserve the version of you who shows up fully alive, fully aware, and fully aligned.

How To Be Brilliantly Bold Today:

1. Write the Vision – Reconnect with what you want most. Make it plain.

2. Take the Step – Boldness begins with one action. Send the email. Make the call. Launch the idea.

3. Silence the Inner Critic – Replace negative self-talk with affirmations of truth. (Start with today’s!)

4. Surround Yourself with Champions – Connect with people who believe in big dreams and bold action.

5. Celebrate Every Win – Momentum builds when you recognize progress, no matter how small.

Today is not just another day. It’s an invitation to live louder, dream bigger, and walk stronger. The world needs your voice, your gifts, and your ideas—unapologetically. Let your light shine in full wattage. Don’t dim. Don’t delay.

Pursue Your Dreams With Brilliant Boldness!

Your comeback. Your elevation. Your dream life—it all begins today.
