John C. Maxwell quotes about
good-day people secret
When I made that statement that the person discovers the secret of their success by their daily agenda, all of a sudden it hit me that if I could teach people to make today count; if I could really teach them what they need to do today to have a good day, that tomorrow would really take care of itself.
dream people giving
Why would God send people to our church if we don't have a great dream? Why would God give a multigifted, multitalented, and multifinancially wealthy person to a church if the biggest thing you are going to do is paint the restrooms next year? That's bad stewardship.

passion thinking discipline
I think passion and discipline are wonderful, complementary things.

I started out in the ministry, went to college, started as a pastor, pastored for basically 25 years. That was a good time, I really enjoyed it.
hard-times leader vision
Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.
dream vision obedience
At the beginning, all we have is the vision. At that point God expects us to begin walking in obedience according to the dream He has given us.
dream
God has never given anybody a dream that He did not want that person to fulfill.
dream halfway
If I'm halfway to the dream, at best, half of my resources are there. Your resources to fulfill the dream will come during the last step of the dream.
dream lines needs
If your habits don't line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream
