You Can Change Your Tomorrow If You Do Something Today. Few People Understand How The Way You Live Today Impacts Your Tomorrow. Today Is The Only Time We Have Within Our Grasp, Yet Many People Let It Slip Through Their Fingers, Recognizing Neither Its Value Nor Potential. If We Want To Do Something With Our Lives, Then We Must Make Today Matter, Because That's Where Tomorrow's Success Lies.

More From John C. Maxwell

Creativity Requires The Willingness To Look Stupid.

Why Did The Achievers Overcome Problems While Thousands Are Overwhelmed By Theirs? They Refused To Hold On To The Common Excuses For Failure. They Turned Their Stumbling Blocks Into Stepping Stones. They Realized That They Couldn't Determine Every Circumstance In Life But They Could Determine Their Choice Of Attitude Towards Every Circumstance.

Your Life Today Is A Result Of Your Thinking Yesterday. Your Life Tomorrow Will Be Determined By What You Think Today.

In My Organizations I Don't Have Employees; I Have Teammates. Yes, I Do Pay People And Offer Them Benefits. But People Don't Work For Me. They Work With Me. We Are Working Together To Fulfill The Vision. Without Them, I Cannot Succeed. Without Me, They Cannot Succeed. We're A Team. We Reach Our Goals Together. We Need Each Other. If We Didn't, Then One Of Us Is In The Wrong Place.

The First Step To Leadership Is Servanthood.

People Are Training For Success When They Should Be Training For Failure.

You Invest Yourself In What You Believe Can Succeed.

Leaders Attract Potential Leaders.

Progress Is Often Just A Good Idea Away.

People Of Poor Character Tend To Blame Their Choices On Circumstances. Ethical People Make Good Choices Regardless Of Circumstances. If They Make Enough Good Choices, They Begin To Create Better Conditions For Themselves.

Do Something You Hate Every Day, Just For The Practice.

Question For God Every Morning: What Is The Main Event Today? What Do You Want Me To Focus On Today?

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.

But The Law Of Magnetism Really Is True: Who You Are Is Who You Attract.

A Leader Is One Who Sees More Than Others See, Who Sees Farther Than Others See, And Who Sees Before Others Do." (leroy Eims)

Pay Now, Play Later; Play Now, Pay Later.

Procrastination

I Do A Lot Of Conferences, A Lot Of Leadership Training. For About Six Or Seven Years I've Been Making This Statement - Every Time I Make It, I Can See People Just Kind Of - It's Just One Of Those Light Bulb Moments.

If You Keep Your Mind Active, Regularly Take On Mental Challenges, And Continually Think About The Right Things, You Will Develop The Disciplined Thinking That Will Help You With Whatever You Endeavor To Do.

There Is No Quicker Way To Earn Respect As A Leader Than Being Slow To Speak. It Is Called Listening And It Plays A Big Role In What I Call “the Law Of Connection.” How Will You Know What Is Important To People Unless You Ask And Listen To The Answers? If You Prove To Be A Leader Who Solicits Feedback And Pays Attention To What’s Being Said, Then You Will Earn Your Connection And Your Followers Will Respect The Guidance You Give.

If We Treat People As Who They Can Become, They Will Be Inspired To Rise To The Level Of Our Expectations.

People Buy Into The Leader Before They Buy Into The Vision.

People Must Learn How To Think Well To Achieve Their Dreams And To Reach Their Potential.

Inability To Make Decisions Is One Of The Principal Reasons Executives Fail.

To Be A Leader You Must Be Able To Create Positive Change.

As You Begin Changing Your Thinking, Start Immediately To Change Your Behavior. Begin To Act The Part Of The Person You Would Like To Become. Take Action On Your Behavior. Too Many People Want To Feel, Then Take Action. This Never Works.

Leader’s Potential Is Determined By Those Closest To Him.

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.

Leadership Is Developed Daily, Not In A Day.

Intentional Living Is The Bridge To Significance. At The End Of Every Year, I Take Time Out To Reflect And Evaluate The Events Of The Previous Year - What Went Well And What Needed Improvement. From That Inventory, I Lay Out My Next Year - How I Intend To Live, Make The Best Use Of Time And Maximize Adding Value To Others. Success Asks, 'how Can I Add Value To Myself?' Significance Asks, 'how Can I Add Value To Others?' It Is Your Intention That Lends Itself To Significance.

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. And We Are Often Willing To Do That Over And Over Before Requiring Ourselves To Change.

Great Communication Depends On Two Simple Skills-context, Which Attunes A Leader To The Same Frequency As His Or Her Audience, And Delivery, Which Allows A Leader To Phrase Messages In A Language The Audience Can Understand.

Why Worry About Things You Can't Control When You Can Keep Yourself Busy Controlling The Things That Depend On You?

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.

Negative Thinking Blows Everything Out Of Proportion.

A Lot Of People Believe They Are Successful Because They Have Everything They Want. They Have Added Value To Themselves. But I Believe Significance Comes When You Add Value To Others And You Can't Have True Success Without Significance.

All Visions Begin With Relationships. My Relationship With God Is Where I Receive The Vision; My Relationship With My People Is Where I Give The Vision.

Goals May Give Focus, But Dreams Give Power.

People Buy Into The Leader Before They Buy Into The Vision. Many People Who Approach The Area Of Vision In Leadership Have It Backwards.

I Really Believe That A Disciplined Life Becomes A Joy--but Only After We Have Worked Hard To Practice It.

The Happiest People Are Those Who Have Harvested Their Time In Others. The Unhappiest People Are Those Who Wonder How The World Is Going To Make Them Happy.

Encourage The Many; Mentor The Few.

The Secret Of A Person's Success Is Discovered In Their Daily Agenda.

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.

Attitude ... Is The Vanguard Of Your True Self.

When Pastors Ask Me If Their People Will Buy This Vision, I Ask Them Two Questions: "have They Bought Into Your Leadership?" If They Haven't, Don't Ever Try To Pass On A Vision. Second, "have You Processed This Vision Correctly?"

If You're Not Doing Something With Your Life, Then It Doesn’t Matter How Long You Live. If You're Doing Something With Your Life, Then It Doesn't Matter How Short Your Life May Be.
