Conflict is like cancer early detection increases the possibility of a healthy outcome.
John C. Maxwell
For years I kept a sign on my desk that helped me maintain the right perspective concerning yesterday. It simply said, 'yesterday ended last night.' It reminded me that no matter how badly I might have failed in the past, it's done, and today is a new day.
John C. Maxwell

Become a coach, not a king. A coach brings out the best in others, helping them to reach deep down inside and discover their potential. A king only gives commands.
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
You have no control over how much talent you possess. You control only what you do with it.
John C. Maxwell
Why would God send people to our church if we don't have a great dream? Why would God give a multigifted, multitalented, and multifinancially wealthy person to a church if the biggest thing you are going to do is paint the restrooms next year? That's bad stewardship.
John C. Maxwell
As you interact with others, remember this: anytime a person's response is larger than the issue at hand, the response is almost always about something else.
John C. Maxwell
A dream worth pursuing is a picture and blueprint of a person's purpose and potential
John C. Maxwell
If you can learn to understand people how they think, what they feel, what inspires them, how they're likely to act and react in a given situation- then you can motivate and influence them in a positive way.
John C. Maxwell
Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.
John C. Maxwell
A strategy that doesn't take into account resources is doomed to failure.
John C. Maxwell
Your emotions are making it difficult for you to accept hard decisions.
John C. Maxwell
People can open doors for you, but you ... must walk through.
John C. Maxwell
You never display your character more clearly than when you speak about the character of others.
John C. Maxwell
One is too small a number to achieve greatness. No accomplishment of real value has ever been achieved by a human being working alone.
John C. Maxwell
