A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.

The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.

Next play mentality.

[Michael Reeves @mike_reeves]

In hard times, don’t make your ability to understand God’s ways the condition for trusting him.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Negativity spreads, so does positivity.
Ego spreads, so does humility.
Doubt spreads, so does belief.
Fear spreads, so does hope.
Complacency spreads, so does commitment.

Leadership is contagious.
Own the way you show up. Own your impact.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Your leadership is either building people up or holding people back.

Leaders set the tone.

[John C. Maxwell @TheJohnCMaxwell]

When you stop loving people, you should stop leading people.

[Dan Rockwell @Leadershipfreak]

You aren’t fit to lead until you know how to follow.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Your culture is not the highest standard you preach, it is the lowest standard you allow.

Preach the standard, live the standard, hold others accountable to the standard.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

You are not your grand plans. You are your daily patterns.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Don't spend too much time around someone whose primary way of engaging with life is as a martyr. When suffering becomes your identity, you only see the hard parts of life.

[Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund]

When the world around us feels crazy, it's wonderful to remember that Jesus is still risen from the dead. Nothing can change that. He will never be un-resurrected. And therefore, whatever else unfolds in history, we will always have hope.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Success is the result of persevering through many failures.

Falling down is normal. Most people give up. The best get back up.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don’t like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.

Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won’t be quick and you might feel foolish for a while. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.

A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you'll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.

Think abundance, not scarcity.

Very rarely will a newfound faith develop into long-lasting discipleship if it doesn’t anchor in a local church.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The best way to gain job security is not being the most knowledgeable person in the room. It's being the most reliable person in the room.

Information is abundant. Dependability, helpfulness, and responsiveness are relatively scarce.

We count on people who consistently deliver.

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

When someone is particularly gifted verbally, has a charismatic personality, and is adept with spiritual language, it is very easy for us to assume maturity. Spiritual maturity is measured by character and by the fruit of the Spirit of God in a life.

[John C. Maxwell @TheJohnCMaxwell]

Nothing is easier than saying words. Nothing is harder than living them, day after day.
