"The secret of successful people lies in..." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“Have to sow excellent seeds to have an excellent life. Must start with sowing excellent thoughts.”

“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.”

“Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.”

“Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.”

“To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.”

“The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”

“You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.”

“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.”

“Many times our weaknesses are extensions of our strengths.”
