Making matters worse is people's natural inclination to be easy on themselves, judging themselves according to their good intentions-while holding others to a higher standard and judging them by their worst actions.

More quotes by John C. Maxwell
Progress is often just a good idea away.
John C. Maxwell
If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.
John C. Maxwell
If you want to keep giving you have to keep growing.
John C. Maxwell
Successful people don't make a daily decision to grow. The decision has already been made and just needs to be fed. To feed success you must ... know your purpose in life, grow daily to reach your maximum potential, and sow seeds that benefit others. Remember, success is not a destination it's a daily thing.
John C. Maxwell
Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That's why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.
John C. Maxwell
When you realize that people treat you according to how they see themselves rather than how you really are, you are less likely to be affected by their behavior.
John C. Maxwell
Dont ever be impressed with goal setting be impressed with goal getting. Reaching new goals and moving to a higher level of performance always requires change, and change feels awkward. But take comfort in the knowledge that if a change doesn't feel uncomfortable, then it's propably not really a change.
John C. Maxwell
The experience of pain or loss can be a formidably motivating force.
John C. Maxwell
What I find them struggling most isn't with one of the twelve [things from daily list] I find them struggling with what decisions to make.
John C. Maxwell
TALENT PROVIDES HOPE FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT, BUT PERSEVERANCE GUARANTEES IT.
John C. Maxwell
I've known people who thought that reaching their potential would come from shoring up their weaknesses. But do you know what happens when you spend all your time working on your weaknesses and never developing your strengths? If you work really hard, you might claw your way all the way to mediocrity! But you'll never get beyond it.
John C. Maxwell
Leadership development is a lifetime journey, not a quick trip.
John C. Maxwell
Ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on the their world.
John C. Maxwell
If you are leading others and you're lonely, then you're not doing it right. Think about it. If you're all alone, that means nobody is following you. And if nobody is following you, you're not really leading!
John C. Maxwell
If your job is not making a difference in this world, by all means, get out there and find something else ... You’ll find a sense of making a difference through your work if you simply look for it.
John C. Maxwell
Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.
John C. Maxwell
You can't be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.
John C. Maxwell
Tomorrow's destiny becomes today's direction.
John C. Maxwell
Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.
John C. Maxwell
I think passion gives you the energy to do what is right, and discipline makes sure you do what is right. So I look at them as kind of cousins maybe.
John C. Maxwell
