One is too small a number to achieve greatness.
John C. Maxwell

There are a lot of pastors who have a vision and have not yet seen it become a reality.
John C. Maxwell
Image
Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it's almost always due to personal growth.
John C. Maxwell

We over-exaggerate yesterday. We either think it was better or worse than it was - you know, the good old days. We over-estimate tomorrow we think we can do more than we can - always. And that's why we put off everything till tomorrow.

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 begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.
John C. Maxwell

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.
John C. Maxwell
Image
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.

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.
