09 - Do not expect others to take greater risks or make greater sacrifices than you have
10 - Respond to criticism with prayer, remembrance, and if necessary, a revision of the plan
11 - Do not confuse your plans with God’s vision
12 - Visions are refined – they do not change. Plans are revised – they rarely stay the same
13 - Visions thrive in an environment of unity; they die in an environment of division
14 - Abandon the vision before you abandon your moral authority
