God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.

Might you be missing opportunities because you have been too quick to ask how instead of why?

Before you can do anything else in the lives of others, you must show them love.

We are so blessed, we get hundreds of emails a day that say, “John, I’ve worked this plan for one year and I can really see my growth.” So what I would love is for readers to do that for a year and then email me.

Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.

The first time you say something, it's heard. The second time, it's recognized, and the third time it's learned.

Dreams 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.
