Sometimes, life can be like an illusion—a magic trick—except we’ve found ourselves a part of the mirage. Magic can seem, well, magical, until we realize we’ve been duped; and then, all we are left with is disappointment. Instead, immerse yourself in a life full of honesty and realness. Don’t fall for the tricks.

Before you set out to build anything—whether it be a dream, an idea, a teaching or a building, itself—you need to establish its structure; where’s its support? Lots of people have dreams and ideas, and they can easily tell you all about them. But to carry that weighty dream a long way to its fruition, it needs to have quite a backbone to support it. Strengthen the inside and give the outside a real, solid opportunity to grow.

Just go over the fence
You won't take a big risk if you haven't taken several small risks. 
Just go over the fence, but don't make it a six-foot-high fence. Make it a shrub that you can step over. In other words, you have to start small and then realize what you do when you start taking a risk, even if you don't hit it, you realize it's not the end of the world. 





Living on the Edge -- In order to advance in life, you must take that risk. It doesn't mean every outcome will be perfect, however, you won't know until you try. Take a chance, lead with intention, and simply take the risk!

When He Writes
https://youtu.be/Lr_IuU3eiBo
Build A Routine = There are routines in writing—a proper way to write. Routines can vary based on personality. John Maxwell’s writing routine factors in 3 things:
1) Write early in the morning (uninterrupted and able to focus) 
2) Write each page with the question, “Will the reader turn the page?” 
3) Look at the page and ask “Do I live what I write?”

When you hear the word “routine,” you might think of the same old thing every day. You might even feel trapped by a routine that hasn’t been working well for you. But establishing a routine doesn’t mean you have to ditch the creativity. If you use a routine for security, you will become stagnant, even bored. But when you develop a routine for increased productivity, that just means you can get to where your wandering heart wants to take you faster.

You are Enough (Even Without the Title)
A title might be desirable—and there is certainly nothing wrong with a title itself—but it doesn’t define you, and it will not on its own make you a good leader. It won’t change who you are even if it might change who people think you are. Ultimately, the leader makes up the title. If the leader is lacking, then the title falls flat. Don’t wait for the title to make your day; go out and make your day without it—choose to be a great leader regardless of what letters come before or after your first or last name.

Rules Can (Sometimes) Get in the Way
Rules are essential to life. They create order, boundaries, and an established guideline for right and wrong. But rules can also restrict a person unnecessarily. Rules can prevent someone from accessing their own thought processes, ideas or creativity. It can stifle innovation and invention. But then you have rules that just make us good human beings—and those are good rules to have. Learn to balance the two.

How the Most Effective Leaders Add Value to Others | MWM

Add Value By Asking Questions = In his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell discusses the Law of Addition, which says that leaders add value by serving others. The best leaders find out where their people are, and ask them questions. When leaders care enough to do that, they will add value to the people they lead, taking them to a whole new level.

When You’re Expanding, Keep Expanding
If you can afford to stop expanding, that’s the time to keep expanding. Don’t settle for “good enough.” When you flatline simply because you’re comfortable, you are leaving your best potential untapped. Expand beyond “good enough.” If you think you’ve done enough—as long as the momentum is there—do more. 

Want To Expand? Start Here
There's only one place where true and meaningful expansion originates from. Watch this session to find out.

Expanding Beyond Your Awareness
There are three things that need to happen to become a no-limit person:
1. Awareness
2. Giftedness
3. Choices
However, most people are unaware that you need to know yourself to grow yourself.

The Only Way To Continue (and Expand) What You're Doing
There's only one way to continue and expand what you're currently doing, and that is through training others.

All’s Well That Begins Well
Beginnings are always hopeful—a fresh start, a new home, the birth of a child, a new job. There’s always an air of optimism that surrounds starting over with a blank slate—so much opportunity, potential and expectations for the future. You can determine to make a brand-new start from wherever you are now, today—and with the right start, you can have the perfect end.
