John C. Maxwell

Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That’s why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.

John C. Maxwell

Exceptionally hard decisions can deplete your energy to the point at which you finally cave in. If you mentally crumble and degenerate into negative thinking, you’ll magnify the problem to the point where it can haunt you.

John C. Maxwell

Good ideas must be shared, improved upon with the help of other good thinkers, and then they must be implemented and acted upon.

John C. Maxwell

I believed that if you have the heart to make a difference, there is always an answer, but if you have a heart of indifference, there is never an answer.

John C. Maxwell

I can afford to take a risk in my life. Only the insecure cannot afford to risk failure. The secure can be honest about themselves. They can admit failure. They are able to seek help and try again. They can change.

John C. Maxwell

I say, make the decision, and as soon as you make the decision, the rest of your life you just manage that decision on a daily basis.

John C. Maxwell

If you don’t realize that you have genuine value and that you are worth investing in, then you will never put in the time and effort needed to grow to your potential.

John C. Maxwell

If you haven’t yet discovered and developed your style, study other communicators.

John C. Maxwell

If you know something without having lived it, your audience experiences a credibility gap.

John C. Maxwell

If you know who you are, make the changes you must in order to learn and grow, and then give everything you’ve got to your dreams, you can achieve anything your heart desires.
