Every journey toward a dream is personal, and as a result, so is the price that must be paid for it.

We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice.

People today are desperate for leaders, but they want to be influenced only by individuals they can trust, persons of good character.

People say, "John, what's your personal growth?" And ask "How do you grow?" And I tell them. I thought, "Why do I keep telling them, why don't I just write a book on what I call personal growth?" And that's what this [Today Matters] book is.

By choosing to embrace and practice good values every day, you choose the higher course in life. And your life goes in a direction that you will always feel good about. You may not always get what you desire, but you will always be the person you desire to be.

When people respect someone as a person, they admire her. When they respect her as a friend, they love her. When they respect her as a leader, they follow her.

A word of Encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.
