Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.
Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.
People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.
We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice.
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
Educators take something simple and make it complicated. Communicators take something complicated and make it simple.
Three reasons problems are inevitable; first, we live in a world of growing complexity and diversity; second, we interact with people; and third, we cannot control all the situation we face.
Competence goes beyond words. It's the leader's ability to say it, plan it, and do it in such a way that others know that you know how - and know that they want to follow you.
People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
If we are growing we are always going to be outside our comfort zone.
Do not take the agenda that someone else has mapped out for your life.
Question for God every morning: What is the main event today? What do you want me to focus on today?
If you don’t change the direction you are going, then you’re likely to end up where you’re heading.
You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.
True success comes only when every generation continues to develop the next generation.
Most People have a desire to look for the exception instead of the desire to become exceptional.
Stay focused instead of getting offended or off track by others.
Life doesn't do anything to you. It only reveals your spirit.
The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.
Plan your progress carefully; hour-by hour, day-by-day, month-by-month. Organized activity and maintained enthusiasm are the wellsprings of your power.
Writing crystallizes thought and thought produces action.
Construct your Determination with Sustained Effort, Controlled Attention, and Concentrated Energy. opportunities never come to those who wait... they are captured by those who dare to attack.
Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass!
Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems.
Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.
Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
Consider every mistake you do make as an asset.
Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.
Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.
A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The desire for success implants ''success consciousness'' which, in turn, creates a vigorous and ever-increasing habit of success.
Determine what specific goal you want to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader.
If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.
Enthusiasm glows, radiates, permeates, and immediately captures everyone's interest.
The greatest inventions and accomplishments began as the flicker of an idea. This tiny flame was then fueled by desire and faith. Watch out for those tiny little ideas. You have the potential to turn them into great things.
When life turns upside down, remember that we have a loving Creator who will give us strength if we will give Him the eyes of our soul with faith in His restoring power.
Begin today with a plan. Plant the seeds of faith, and then nourish them with intention, commitment, action and resolve.
We attract desires upon which we focus with emotion, faith, and gratitude.
Just for a moment, imagine you are a child discovering newness in everything. Then fast-forward with a child's faith, honoring what you intend to accomplish in your lifetime.
How often do we plant the seed of a beautiful dream in the fertile soil of our minds, and then dig it up? What could you achieve if you allowed your seed to grow, continuing to focus your spiritual eyes on the harvest?
Align yourself with the energy of God's beautiful world. His faith will melt any fears into a child-like joy, for in His plans, nothing is impossible.
Look ahead; envision the beautiful blessings waiting on your distant shores. If you follow your personal stepping-stones with joy, love, faith and gratitude, the swiftest currents will not impede your journey.
True motivation comes from within - from the willingness to see a dream fulfilled - from the desire to leave the world better than you found it.
Sometimes life will stretch us if we don't stretch ourselves enough.
Think of new ways to out-distance yourself.... Set a new benchmark that is all yours.
Create visions of hope based on new behaviors rather than regret based on past mistakes.
Whatever, your talent, your internal desire will pull you past obstacles because of the motivation that was born and lives deeply within you.
Other people cannot really motivate you, and it isn't the books you read that make you successful. People and books can light your fire if there a passion and a motive already inside you. They can guide you and awaken valuable insights. But it's your choice to move or stay where you are.
One simple kindness at the right moment can change the direction of a life and shine a light of hope when all light seems to have gone out. Sometimes it has the power to save a life.
Perform a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor just for fun. These will multiply and spread very rapidly.
Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have. When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you. Appreciation will return to you many times.
Small acts of kindness speak in loud voices.
When joy is expressed and shared, it multiplies. The more joy we share with others, the more aware we become of its source and supply.
When we take time to touch shoulders with those we care about, whether it's with words or actions, it makes a difference. Our presence and appropriately caring words help others tremendously during times of loss, difficult transitions and healing.
Unity begins with our own expressions of appreciation and respect for life. The collective can only be transformed if individuals are transformed. Compassion, acceptance and tolerance are beautiful values to hold and pass on to our children!
When going through life's inevitable changes, we need to be compassionate with ourselves. It is the inner self that may need to adjust or heal. Self-care is a vital part of making transitions.
We are spiritually free when we never again allow ourselves to get caught up in some mad rush, regardless of what seems at stake. We know that wherever we are, whatever the circumstances surrounding us, we are always in the right place at the right time to further our relationship with the Divine.
Just as it's true of all tempests in nature, psychological storms must pass too; but those who run from their troubles run with them, which is why — wherever they go — a storm awaits their arrival.
The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.
The next time that a piece of your life breaks off and falls away, try to remember that what is Real cannot be lost, and then give thanks that what is false must always prove itself so.
Getting tense and all stressed out for fear you won't finish some task "on time" makes sense only to a mind that believes squeezing the bud of a flower will make it bloom faster!
Nothing makes a worse impression on others than to be seen trying to make one.
No relationship in life can be any more successful than what we are willing to learn about ourselves through it. The moment we turn our back on what others give us to see about ourselves, we not only walk away from what we need to see, but also from the better person we could be...were we only willing to learn the lesson at hand.
Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: The only reason life changes as it does is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes.
Whenever we are not present and properly attentive to ourselves, we may be sure the false self is busy attending to something we'll be paying for in the days ahead.
If each moment is the secret field of all possibilities, then our greatest potential for happiness is realized in the field itself, and not within any one particular flower that grows there.
The great ones in life are not those who are handed silver spoons. Their excellence comes from digging into the raw ore of their own character, and through hard work, persistence, and faith turning whatever they touch into gold.
