More From John C. Maxwell

I Define Self-control, In The Beginning Of Life, As The Choice Of Achieving What I Really Want By Doing Things I Really Don't Want To Do. Once This Becomes A Habit, Discipline Becomes The Choice Of Achieving What I Really Want By Doing The Very Things I Now Want To Do! I Really Believe That A Disciplined Life Becomes A Joy--but Only After We Have Worked Hard To Practice It.

Most People Use Two Totally Different Sets Of Criteria For Judging Themselves Versus Others. We Tend To Judge Others According To Their Actions. It's Very Cut-and-dried. However, We Judge Ourselves By Our Intentions. Even If We Do The Wrong Thing, If We Believe Our Motives Were Good, We Let Ourselves Off The Hook.

A Successful Person Finds The Right Place For Himself. But A Successful Leader Finds The Right Place For Others. Few Things In Life Are Better Than Seeing People Realize Their Potential.

Integrity Is The Factor That Determines Which One Will Prevail. We Struggle Daily With Situations That Demand Decisions Between What We Want To Do And What We Ought To Do. Integrity Establishes The Ground Rules For Resolving These Tensions. It Determines Who We Are And How We Will Respond Before The Conflict Even Appears. Integrity Welds What We Say, Think, And Do, Into A Whole Person So That Permission Is Never Granted For One Of These To Be Out Of Sync.

While A Good Leader Sustains Momentum, A Great Leader Increases It.

Your Talk Talks And Your Walk Talks, But Your Walk Talks Louder Than Your Talk Talks.

Everyone Who Got Where He Is Started Where He Was.

In Most Cases, Those Who Want Power Probably Shouldn't Have It, Those Who Enjoy It Probably Do So For The Wrong Reasons, And Those Who Want Most To Hold On To It Don't Understand That It's Only Temporary.

Inexperienced Leaders Are Quick To Lead Before Knowing Anything About The People They Intend To Lead. But Mature Leaders Listen, Learn And Then Lead.

Sometimes I Think It's A Lack Of Knowing The Areas. Obviously, Everybody Knows That Health Is Important So That's - But Why Was I Not Doing The Right Thing? Because I Was Deceived.

I Wrote The Book [today Matters] Because I Have A Passion To Help People Personally Grow. Really What It Is, It's A Personal Growth Book.

Successful And Unsuccessful People Do Not Vary Greatly In Their Abilities. They Vary In Their Desires To Reach Their Potential.

Successful People Don't Make A Daily Decision To Grow. The Decision Has Already Been Made And Just Needs To Be Fed. To Feed Success You Must ... Know Your Purpose In Life, Grow Daily To Reach Your Maximum Potential, And Sow Seeds That Benefit Others. Remember, Success Is Not A Destination; It's A Daily Thing.

If You Think You Are Beaten, You Are. If You Think You Dare Not, You Don't. If You'd Like To Win But Think You Can't It's Almost Certain You Won't. Life's Battles Don't Always Go To The Stronger Or Faster Man, But Sooner Or Later, The Man Who Wins Is The Man Who Thinks He Can. A Happy Person Is Not A Person With A Certain Set Of Circumstances, But Rather A Person With A Certain Set Of Attitudes. I May Not Be Able To Change The World I See Around Me, But I Can Change The Way I See The World Within Me.

Integrity Is Not A Given Factor In Everyone's Life. It Is A Result Of Self-discipline, Inner Trust, And A Decision To Be Relentlessly Honest In All Situations In Our Lives.

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.

It Was In The Mid-70's, '74 Or '75 I Started Doing Leadership Conferences For Pastors And In '79 I Wrote My First Book "think On These Things".

The Sum Of All Your Thoughts Comprises Your Overall Attitude.

Vision Without Passion Is A Picture Without Possibilities.

We Overestimate The Event And Underestimate The Process. Every Fulfilled Dream Occurred Because Of Dedication To The Process.

Adversity Is Prosperity To Those Who Possess A Great Attitude.

We All Stand On The Shoulders Of The Past Generation.

You Must Do Right Before You Feel Good.

As You Get Older, Time Speeds Up But Life Slows Down.

Brokenness Involves Removing Inappropriate Pride And Self-reliance And Building Healthy God-reliance.

Most People Who Want To Get Ahead Do It Backward. They Think, 'i'll Get A Bigger Job, Then I'll Learn How To Be A Leader.' But Showing Leadership Skill Is How You Get The Bigger Job In The First Place. Leadership Isn't A Position, It's A Process.

When Your Great Players Are Team Players, Everybody Else Follows Their Lead. The Best Team Doesn't Always Win - It's Usually The Team That Gets Along Best.

You Will Become On The Outside, What You Believe On The Inside.

I Think Passion And Discipline Are Wonderful, Complementary Things.

Praise Them For What They Do Well, Both Privately And Publicly.

Make A Point To Continually Search For A Better Way Of Doing Things, Even When Things Are Going Well, To Ensure That A Better Alternative Has Not Been Overlooked And To Keep Your Creative Talents In Practice.

People Today Are Desperate For Leaders, But They Want To Be Influenced Only By Individuals They Can Trust, Persons Of Good Character.

Show Me A Person Who Sees Himself Negatively And I Will Show You A Person Who Sees Others In A Negative Way.

Happiness And Love

You Have To Know Who You Are To Grow To Your Potential. But You Have To Grow In Order To Know Who You Are.

Courage And Initiative Come When You Understand Your Purpose In Life.

There Are Three Qualities A Leader Must Exemplify To Build Trust: Competence, Connection, And Character.

Failure Is An Inside Job. So Is Success. If You Want To Achieve, You Have To Win The War In Your Thinking First. You Can't Let The Failure Outside You Get Inside You.

Our Attitudes Cannot Stop Our Feelings, But They Can Keep Our Feelings From Stopping Us.

Nothing Of Significance Was Ever Achieved By An Individual Acting Alone. Look Below The Surface And You Will Find That All Seemingly Solo Acts Are Really Team Efforts.

No Great Leader In History Fought To Prevent Change.

Always Turn To God In The Midst Of Your Struggle And View People Who Offended You As An Instruments Of Divine Sovereignty.

You See, When Our Attitudes Outdistance Our Abilities, Even The Impossible Becomes Possible.

Impossible Becomes Possible

Big-picture Thinkers Broaden Their Outlook By Striving To Learn From Every Experience. They Don't Rest On Their Successes, They Learn From Them.

If You Want To Help Others And Become A Person Of Influence, Keep Smiling, Sharing, Giving, And Turning The Other Cheek.

Because In Life, The Question Is Not If You Will Have Problems, But How You Are Going To Deal With Them. Stop Failing Backward And Start Failing Forward!

Commitment Comes As A Result Of Choice, Not Conditions.

If I Expect Great Things From My People, They'll Go To Great Lengths To Keep From Disappointing Me.

No One Achieves Greatness By Becoming A Generalist. You Don't Hone A Skill By Diluting Your Attention To Its Development. The Only Way To Get To The Next Level Is Focus.

The Greatest Enemy Of Good Thinking Is Busyness.

By Far The Hardest Decision I've Had To Manage [was About My Health]. Because I Had 51 Years Of Doing It Wrong.

Motivation Gets You Going, But Discipline Keeps You Growing.

Becoming A Good Listener, You Are Able To Connect With Others On More Levels And Develop Stronger, Deeper Relationships.

When Problems Confront Successful Leaders, They Get Excited About The Opportunity.

Courage Isn't An Absence Of Fear. It Is Doing What You Are Afraid To Do, Letting Go Of The Familiar And Forging Ahead Into New Territory. What I Have Discovered Is That The Best Leaders Have The Courage To Act - Are Willing To Take The Risk, Make The Statement, Point The Way, Lead The Way - When Others Hesitate Out Of Fear. Effective Leadership Requires The Ability To Stand Up, Stand Out, And The Conviction To Do It. I Have Never Known A Successful Leader That Was Not Courageous.

Negative Thinking Hinders Others From Making A Positive Response.

The Whole Idea Of Motivation Is A Trap, Forget Motivation, Just Do It

When A Leader Reaches Out In Passion, He Is Usually Met With An Answering Passion.

The Only One You Should Compare Yourself To Is You. Your Mission Is To Become Better Today Than You Were Yesterday.

What Am I Doing With The Gifts That Have Been Given And The Opportunities That Are Mine To Make Things Better For Others? I Think It's Always - Success Has To Be Beyond The Person Who Is Themselves Working For Personal Success. It's Also Got To Be Helping Someone Else.

Helping Someone

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.

When It Comes To Money, You Can't Win. If You Focus On Making It, You're Materialistic. If You Try To But Don't Make Any, You're A Loser. If You Make A Lot And Keep It, You're A Miser. If You Make It And Spend It, You're A Spendthrift. If You Don't Care About Making It, You're Unambitious. If You Make A Lot And Still Have It When You Die, You're A Fool-for Trying To Take It With You. The Only Way To Really Win With Money Is To Hold It Loosely-and Be Generous With It To Accomplish Things Of Value.

Negative Thinking Limits God And Our Potential.

As You Interact With Others, Remember This: Anytime A Person's Response Is Larger Than The Issue At Hand, The Response Is Almost Always About Something Else.

When A Person Starts To Talk About Their Dreams, It's As If Something Bubbles Up From Within. Their Eyes Brighten, Their Face Glows, And You Can Feel The Excitement In Their Words.

It Is The Leaders Job To Add Significance To The Lives Of The People He Leads.

Negative Thinking Blows Everything Out Of Proportion.

Difficulties Seldom Defeat People; Lack Of Faith In Themselves Usually Does It.

When The Dream Is Right For The Person And The Person Is Right For The Dream, The Two Cannot Be Separated From Each Other.

How Do Leaders Serve Their People? They May Pay Good Wages And Treat Employees With Respect.

You Don't Become A Success When You Get Your Diploma, You Became A Success When You Decided To Go To College When You Get Your Diploma You Get The Rewards Of Success.

Motivation Gets You Going, But Discipline Keeps You Growing. That's The Law Of Consistency. It Doesn't Matter How Talented You Are. It Doesn't Matter How Many Opportunities You Receive. If You Want To Grow, Consistency Is Key.

Successful People Do What Is Right No Matter How They Feel, And By Doing Right, They Feel Good.

Leadership Is Developed Daily, Not In A Day.

Knowing How To Do A Job Is The Accomplishment Of Labor - Showing Others Is The Accomplishment Of The Teacher - Making Sure The Work Is Done By Others Is The Accomplishment Of The Manager - Inspiring Others To Do Better Work Is The Accomplishment Of The Leader.

It's Good To Be Out Of Your Comfort Zone. Just Don't Step Out Of Your Gift Zone.

Feed Your Faith, Starve Your Doubts.

Passion Creates Energy And Magnetically Pulls Co-workers And Customers Into A Shared Vision, And It Is Exceptionally Strong When Linked With A Leader's Values.

A Good Leader Encourages Followers To Tell Him What He Needs To Know, Not What He Wants To Hear.

People Have A Seed To Success Within Them. Most Never Find It And Therefore Fail To Reach Their Potential. Occasionally, A Leader Discovers It And Helps That Individual Develop It. For Both, They Now Can Fulfill The Purpose For Which They Are Born.
