John C. Maxwell quotes about

I remember as a seventeen-year-old kid saying, "If attitude made me captain of this team, I'm going to have a good attitude all my life."
brother community church
The key word in the church community is relationships, you know brother and sister in Christ.
moving waiting
We often wait for the resources before we make a move.
strong attitude book
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.
heart decision heart-attack
The last decision I made was my health when I had a heart attack when I was 51.
moving
God doesn't move until we move first.
basketball attitude giving-up
When I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought - that surprised me because I wasn't the best player. And I kept thinking, "Why am I going to be the captain?" I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, "The reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up."
unique people community
There is something to be said about a pastor and a church that develop a missions statement and the people take ownership of it. They get their identity, purpose, and energy from the unique place their church is to be in that community.
giving-up church realizing
The church that will not give up will be outdated and passed by, quicker than they realize.
attempt camp caught critics life looking people summarize whenever
Whenever a high-profile leader dies, people immediately attempt to summarize that person's life in a sentence. Often, critics and commentators get caught up looking at the leader's style, or which political or philosophical camp they represented.
passion thinking people
Sometimes I hear people talk about discipline of self and I think, if you don't have passion, I might discipline myself for a week or two but only passion will hold me steady.
memories home special
I grew up in the home of a pastor, and my earliest memory is that God really had a plan for my life and that I was special - this is really weird - but I felt that.
letting-go honest shortcomings
Let God talk to you and minister to you, where you get honest with Him - here's what I do well and don't do well; here are my shortcomings, my strengths, and my gifts.
healthy
I thought that because I wasn't a sickly person - I never have been - I thought I was healthy. So I assumed health. I didn't have it.
