The bookends of success are starting and finishing. Decisions help us start; discipline helps us finish.
John C. MaxwellWhen you nurture people and add value to them without expecting anything in return, they feel significant.
John C. MaxwellWe cannot accomplish as much as we think we can in one day and we can accomplish more than we think we can in a year. Isn't that true?
John C. MaxwellGod gives us resources according to our dreams and according to our obedience. And God doesn't give those resources until we've started walking in obedience.
John C. MaxwellDreams require down payments. Dreams are free, but the journey isn't. There is a price to pay. First, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, 'Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' Second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. Failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. Finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.
