All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.

Results matter! They matter to your credibility.

When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.

Without trust, the best we can do is compromise.

The undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites and passions

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.

Attending church does not necessarily mean living the principles taught in those meeting. You can be active in a church but inactive in its gospel.
