More From John C. Maxwell

A Man Must Be Big Enough To Admit His Mistakes, Smart Enough To Profit From Them, And Strong Enough To Correct Them. This Sequence Is Something That All Achievers Have In Common. They Do Not See A Mistake Is As Their Failure; Rather It Is Simply A Learning Experience. Achievers View A Mistake As An Opportunity To Do Something Over Again And Do It Right The Second Time. A Mistake Is Simply The Price They Pay To Achieve Success.

They Can't Hurt You Unless You Let Them.

Every Time You Make A Mistake, Don’t Bring Up Everything That’s Wrong With Yourself; Tell Yourself That You’re Paying The Price For Growth And That You Will Learn To Do Better Next Time. Every Positive Thing You Can Say To Yourself Will Help.

You Cannot Have Growth Without Change.

It's One Thing To Make A Choice. It's Another To Put That Choice Into Practice.

People Buy Into The Leader Before They Buy Into The Vision. Many People Who Approach The Area Of Vision In Leadership Have It Backwards. They Believe That If The Cause Is Good Enough, People Will Automatically Buy In And Follow. But That's Not How Leadership Works. People Don't Follow Worthy Causes; They Follow Worthy Leaders With A Cause They Can Believe In. They Buy Into The Leader First.

Cats Do What Cats Do, Ducks Do What Ducks Do, And Eagles Do What Eagles, Do. If You Take A Duck And Ask It To Do An Eagles' Job, Shame On You. As A Leader, Your Job Is To Help Your Ducks To Become Better Ducks And Your Eagles Better Eagles - To Put Individuals In The Right Places And Help Them Reach Their Potential.

There Are No Half-hearted Champions.

If Your Job Is Not Making A Difference In This World, By All Means, Get Out There And Find Something Else ... You’ll Find A Sense Of Making A Difference Through Your Work If You Simply Look For It.

Our Attitude Can Give Us An Uncommonly Positive Perspective.

We Have Many Years To Eat And Sleep, But How Many Years Do We Have To Make A Difference In The Lives Of Others? That's The Highest Calling Any Of Us Can Have: Living Our Life So As To Intentionally Add Value To Others. But To Do This, We Have To Make Ourselves More Valuable.

You Can Change Your Tomorrow If You Do Something Today. Few People Understand How The Way You Live Today Impacts Your Tomorrow.

If We Want To Do Something With Our Lives, Then We Must Make Today Matter, Because That's Where Tomorrow's Success Lies.

If You Make It And Spend It, You're A Spendthrift. If You Don't Care About Making It, You're Unambitious.

You Can't Avoid Fear. No Magic Potion Will Take It Away. And You Can't Wait For Motivation To Get You Going. To Conquer Fear, You Have To Feel The Fear And Take Action Anyway.

When You Are Influential And Highly Respected, People Tend To Tell You What You Want To Hear, Not What You Need To Hear. They Are Seeking Your Approval, Or They Flatter You.

If You Take Control Of Your Behavior, Your Emotions Will Fall Into Place.

Encourage The Many; Mentor The Few.

By The Time I Went To The Pulpit, The Vision Was Never On The Same Level As When God First Gave It To Me; It Was Clearer And Bigger. It Was Better Because The Body Of Christ Complemented What God Had Given Me. So When I Gave The Vision To The Congregation, The Influencers Already Bought It.

The Leader Finds The Dream And Then The People. The People Find The Leader And Then The Dream.

Always Take The High Road.

Taking The High Road

There Is No Quicker Way To Earn Respect As A Leader Than Being Slow To Speak.

Dreams Require Down Payments. Dreams Are Free, But The Journey Isn't. There Is A Price To Pay. When You Find Your Why You'll Find Your Way. When You Develop Your Will You Will Embark On Your Way. Many People Start; Few People Finish. Many People Have A Dream; Few People Achieve Their Dreams.

If You Wouldn't Follow Yourself, Why Should Anyone Else?

Many Times When People Have A Vision, They Think In Terms Of A Big Vision - I Want To Take My City For Christ. But The Problem With Many Pastors And This Type Of Vision Is This: They Haven't Developed The Strategy To Fulfill That Vision. A Pastor Preaches A Dream Or Vision To His/her People, They Get Excited For A Week, A Month, Or A Couple Of Months, But There Is No Strategy, Planning, Or Process To Fulfill That Vision.

You Will Be Remembered In Life Only For Your Passions!

The Truth Is That Teamwork Is At The Heart Of Great Achievement.

Talent Is A Gift, But Our Character Is A Choice. Talent Is Natural Ability, Our Gift From God, But We Have The Power To Determine Our Character. That Power Rests On A Foundation Consisting Of The Choices We Make In Life. And Those Choices Almost Always Dictate The Amount Of Trust Others Have In Us, And To What Level Of Leadership We Rise.

There Is A World Of Difference Between A Person Who Has A Big Problem And A Person Who Makes A Problem Big.

Think Back To The Most Important Experiences Of Your Life, The Highest Highs, The Greatest Victories, The Most Daunting Obstacles Overcome. How Many Happened To You Alone? I Bet There Are Very Few. When You Understand That Being Connected To Others Is One Of Life's Greatest Joys, You Realize That Life's Best Comes When You Initiate And Invest In Solid Relationships.

Greatest Victory

Whenever I Mentor People And Help Them Discover Their Purpose, I Always Encourage Them To Start The Process By Discovering Their Strengths, Not Exploring Their Shortcomings. Why? Because People's Purpose In Life Is Always Connected To Their Giftedness. It Always Works That Way. You Are Not Called To Do Something That You Have No Talent For. You Will Discover Your Purpose By Finding And Remaining In Your Strength Zone.

The Bottomline In Leadership Isn't How Far We Advance Ourselves But How Far We Advance Others.

We Teach What We Know, But We Reproduce What We Are.

What You Give To Help Others, Builds Them Up Enough That They Are Able To Give To Others. It's A Cycle That Can Continue On Long After You're Dead And Gone.

Decision-making Takes Care Of Goal-setting, But Discipline Also Takes Care Of Goal-getting. Decisions And Discipline Can't Be Separated; One Is Worthless Without The Other.

Nothing Speaks Like Results. If You Want To Build The Kind Of Credibility That Connects With People, Then Deliver Results Before You Deliver A Message. Get Out And Do What You Advise Others To Do. Communicate From Experience.

Why Would God Send People To Our Church If We Don't Have A Great Dream? Why Would God Give A Multigifted, Multitalented, And Multifinancially Wealthy Person To A Church If The Biggest Thing You Are Going To Do Is Paint The Restrooms Next Year? That's Bad Stewardship.
