Alignment Quotes

Quotes About Alignment

  • To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life - bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.
  • True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true, correct, and of honor - no matter the personal price.
  • Whatever it takes, Lord, align my desires with yours, so that my dreams align with your purposes. Let your will be done through me.



Align Your Priorities = Alignment means that you make the effort to take something that is important and put it in a sequence to help you achieve success. Alignment means that you are maximizing your energy and efforts—in your relationships, priorities, and life. When you take the time to put things where they need to be, you will receive the desired return.




When you are in alignment with your energy, you will move in the right direction!

Mindset Quotes

Quotes About Mindset, Culture, Environment, Outlook, and Attitude


  • I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind. -- ALBERT EINSTEIN
  • The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. --OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

  • Outlook determines outcome. --Warren W. Wiersbe


Your Environment Determines Your Development | MWM
Be Intentional About Your Environment = Environment is crucial. Everyone should be intentional about finding an environment that is conducive to growth. You don’t have to remain where you are … Instead, allow yourself to be uplifted by finding an environment where you are surrounded by like-minded and growth-minded people. What has been a good growth environment for you?


You Are a Product of Your Environment
Propel Towards Your Goals = Is your environment what you want it to be? Are you creating an environment that will help you accomplish your goals and objectives? We are a product of our environment. Do an assessment on what is around you, the people who surround you, and the experiences that result. Make sure your environment is conducive to what you want to accomplish.



Practice What You Preach = Every day you have the opportunity to start your day with a mindset. There are multiple mindsets, however, it is up to you to decide which one you will practice. Make it a habit to be in a positive mindset so that tomorrow you can repeat that attitude.

Scriptures

Romans 8:5-7 5 For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit. 6 For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

    Growth Leads to Being, Doing, and Having More | MWM

    Have A Growth-Oriented Mindset = Growth is about doing, being, and having more than we do right now. If we want more of anything in our life, it will require growth. There is room for growth in everything we do.

    Shift from a goal-oriented mindset to a growth-oriented one. This will result in a focus on the journey over the destination, where growth continues even after a goal is reached. Where would you like to see growth in your life today? 

     


    The 3 Things You Need for Growth | MWM
    https://youtu.be/uHtbUGwWJZo

    Growth Requires Intention  = We have to be intentional and clear on the steps we need to take in order to grow. Growth requires 3 things:
    1. Knowledge about the area of growth
    2. Experience where we act on the knowledge we obtain
    3. A Coach or Mentor who can guide us, encourage us, and help us grow intentionally into who we want to become

    You must be intentional if you want growth. In what area of your life would you like to be more intentional?




    Keep Growing = Growth is not automatic. Many people think that finishing school or getting a certificate as being finished with growth and learning, but this isn't the case. We are never done growing and learning, it should never stop. 

    Read The Right Things Daily = Read daily so that you can grow in your personal life. We all read each day, but are you growing daily? It all depends on what you read! Read daily in the things that are your strengths—in adding value to people, in success, in being a better person—read in the areas where you are going to grow you, and be sure to read the right thing.

    Listen To Broaden Your Perspective = Listen daily to broaden your perspective. You don't grow by talking, but instead by listening. It's important as a leader to see things through the eyes of others. This growth happens by listening to others and asking good questions, through hearing others talk about the things you need learn as you continue your growth journey.

    Reflect and Think = Think daily to apply what you learn in life. Reflection turns experience into insight. By spending time thinking and reflecting on what you learn and experience, you can extract from that experience and reflect on your personal growth. 


    Save All Your Ideas—File Them Away= File daily to preserve what you learn. Filing is our system to keep us from losing good ideas—when you read a good quote, see or hear a good story, you immediately file them away so you have access to them when the time is right. Filing keeps your thoughts, ideas, and learnings organized. 


    Growth without a finish line
    Improving yourself is the first step in improving everything else in your life. If you want to grow in life, you have to grow intentionally. Hear from John Maxwell on how to create a growth plan for your success. 
    We need to move from growth in everything to growth in essential things. What areas are you going to grow in? 
    What would you eliminate to focus on the essential areas of growth?



    The Only Guarantee the Next Day Will be Better… | MWM

    Always Be Growing = Success is about growing to reach our potential. God’s gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Discover your purpose, know what your strengths are, and focus your time and energy on growing in those areas. You get the highest return in life from doing what you are good at. 

    ==========================




    https://youtu.be/nfALDYKtrJ8
    Grow Together = Growth is expected, it's not an option. The only guarantee that you will have a better future—in life, on a team, and as part of an organization—is if you are growing. The only way that you can go together, is if you grow together. Growth is expected in everything you do. 

    Grow Into The Next Day = In life, we don't go into the next day, we grow into the next day. God's gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Once we discover our strengths and purpose—that is where we want to focus our time, efforts, and energy—we need to use those strengths to get our highest return in life. We need to always be growing.

    Keep Growing and Learning = The only guarantee that you will have a better tomorrow is that you are growing today. You do not go into possibilities and opportunities, you grow into possibilities and opportunities. This mindset becomes the natural thing to those who keep learning, growing, expanding, and stretching to become a better version of themselves. 


    The minutes add up= Growth is a result of being intentional. Everyday if you set aside a few minutes to focus on your growth journey, you will develop a little bit more. Stay consistent! 

    Intentional Growth Plan = Life-changing lessons, leading to life-changing moments. In order to have a better tomorrow, you need to be growing today.
