"If you live life with the intention..." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“When you finish reading the book [Today Matters], take the daily dozen and list them in order of how well you do them. For example, the one that I would put at the highest for me is attitude or relationships because I'm really strong at both of those. At the bottom would be health. What I tell people is, "Take one month and work on one of the daily dozen for a whole year." And so it's really a one-year personal growth plan.”

“Adversity is a crossroads that makes a person choose one of two paths: character or compromise. Every time he chooses character, he becomes stronger, even if that choice brings negative consequences.”

“Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.”

“You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you.”

“But the meaning of life is not . . . explained by one's business life, nor is the deep desire of the human heart answered by a bank account.”

“The most exhausting effort in my life has been to suppress my own nature in order to make it serve my biggest plans.”

“Get action. Do things; be sane; don't fritter away your time; create, act, take a place wherever you are and be somebody; get action.”

“All work undertaken should be useful - not just for a day, or a year, but useful in the sense that it affords permanent improvement in living conditions or that it creates future new wealth for the Nation.”

“I love those who do not know how to live for today.”
