The Ultimate Measure of a Leader’s Intuition | MWM
https://youtu.be/EV9QVh8bs8I
Do What Is Best For Others  = In his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell discusses the Law of Intuition, which says that leaders evaluate everything with a leadership bias. Their intuition follows their giftedness. As you use your intuition to help and add value to the people you lead, always remember to serve and respect them. Do what’s best for the people you lead. 


Intuition is Intelligence
Listen And Follow = All of us have intuition, but not all of us follow it. When you don’t follow your intuition, you may end up doubting yourself. To tap into your intuition, you must listen, not just noticing, but following what your senses are telling you. Because it is divine intelligence, and not always logical, intuition is easy to ignore. This is your invitation to be more intuitive … Listen to that feeling or gut instinct, it is worthy of your attention!




Do you ever have those gut feelings where you know exactly what you need to do or are meant to do? It is called your instinct! Follow it, trust it, and get started on that feeling.

Instinct
INSTINCT', a. [L. instinctus. See the Noun.]
Moved; animated; excited; as instinct with spirit.
Betulia--instinct with life.
IN'STINCT, n. [L. instinctus, inwardly moved; in and stinguo.]
A certain power or disposition of mind by which, independent of all instruction or experience, without deliberation and without having any end in view, animals are unerringly directed to do spontaneously whatever is necessary for the preservation of the individual, or the continuation of the kind. Such, in the human species, is the instinct of sucking exerted immediately after birth, and that of insects in depositing their eggs in situations most favorable for hatching.
Instinct may be defined, the operation of the principle of organized life by the exercise of certain natural powers directed to the present or future good of the individual.
Instinct is the general property of the living principle, or the law of organized life in a state of action.
And reason raise o'er instinct as you can,
In this 'tis God directs, in that 'tis man.

Religion Quotes

Quotes About Religion 

  • Daniel Webster    ---  If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy, If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end. (Earliest source, for a small part of this, is Essays, moral and religious, by Edward Thomson and Davis Wasgatt Clark, 1856, p. 213; the earliest version of the full wording appears to be in A dictionary of thoughts: being a cyclopedia of laconic quotations, 1891, p. 49).
  • May every citizen ... have a proper sense of the Deity upon his mind and an impression of the declaration recorded in the Bible, 'Him that honoreth Me I will honor, but he that despiseth Me shall be lightly esteemed.' --Samuel Adams
  • Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are. --William Barclay, Scottish Theologian (1907-1978)
  • The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it. --James Madison
  • The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God. --John Adams
  • The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among parchments and musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. --Alexander Hamilton
  • This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins. --Benjamin Franklin
  • While we are zealously performing the duties of good Citizens and soldiers we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of Religion. To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian. --George Washington
  • Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. --George Washington

Religion
RELIGION, n. relij'on. [L. religio, from religo, to bind anew; re and ligo, to bind. This word seems originally to have signified an oath or vow to the gods, or the obligation of such an oath or vow, which was held very sacred by the Romans.]
1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion.
2. Religion, as distinct from theology, is godliness or real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men, in obedience to divine command, or from love to God and his law. James 1.
3. Religion, as distinct from virtue, or morality, consists in the performance of the duties we owe directly to God, from a principle of obedience to his will. Hence we often speak of religion and virtue, as different branches of one system, or the duties of the first and second tables of the law.
Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion.
4. Any system of faith and worship. In this sense, religion comprehends the belief and worship of pagans and Mohammedans, as well as of christians; any religion consisting in the belief of a superior power or powers governing the world, and in the worship of such power or powers. Thus we speak of the religion of the Turks, of the Hindoos, of the Indians, &c. as well as of the christian religion. We speak of false religion, as well as of true religion.
5. The rites of religion; in the plural.

More Gratitude Leads to a Better Attitude
Gratitude Can Keep Us Humble = Understand the blessings in your life. Reach out to others and express gratitude. You will be fulfilled, you will stay humble, and you will help someone realize that they have impacted you in a positive way. 



Live on in others = "Lessons my father lived, that live on through me..." what a beautiful gift to be grateful for. 




John's mother once said to him "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘧𝘶𝘭." It is that time of year where we really need to slow down and think about all we have to be thankful for. Take a few moments to write down all your blessings and then share with your loved ones what you each are thankful for. Remember to reflect and as the days get longer and crazier, take a second to look at who you are surrounded by and share your thanks.



In most scenarios actions speak louder than words, but when expressing gratitude, words mean everything. Today, share with someone what you're thankful for. When we live an attitude with gratitude we will put more kindness into the world!
