Bringing People Together in a World That Divides | MWM
Practice Bringing People Together = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, is about the characteristics that high road leaders possess that sets them apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders bring people together. Unfortunately, most leaders divide people. Great leaders bring together their friends and divide their enemies. They don’t necessarily agree on everything, but they appreciate other people, even when their perspective is different than their own.

High Road Leaders Consistently Value All People | MWM
Consistently Value All People = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. One of the distinguishing qualities of a high road leader is that they consistently value all people—even those who are different or disagree with them. When a leader values others, they look for ways to add value to them.

Some Days We’re Eagles; Other Days We’re Hippos | MWM

Acknowledge Your Humanity = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how it is important to acknowledge our humanity. High road leaders do this by not only accepting what they do well, but also what they don’t do well—where they are lacking. When you are in touch with yourself, and acknowledge your humanness, you are able to love people, acknowledge their humanity, and appreciate them without judgment.
#Humanness

Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons | MWM
Motivate, Don’t Manipulate = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how motives matter because people matter. As leaders, we can either manipulate people for personal gain and advantage (which is always wrong), or we can motivate them for mutual advantage (which is always right). It is important to do the right things for the right reasons. 
#Motivation


Give More Than You Take | MWM
Give More Than You Take = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. Those that travel the high road, give more than they take. Low road leaders take more than they give. Middle road leaders give equal to what they receive. High road leaders know people are valuable, and if you are a plus in the lives of others, they will come to you with love and you will have an increased influence on them. 
#Give

We Do Hard Things Today to Do Harder Things Tomorrow | MWM
Develop Strength To Succeed Through Adversity = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses the qualities of a high road leader. One of these characteristics is emotional capacity—the ability to experience adversity and still successfully make it through to the other side. You develop emotional capacity through experience. You go through hard things today so you can handle and develop the emotional capacity to do harder things tomorrow. You need emotional strength and capacity in addition to your gifts in order to succeed. 
#EmotionalCapacity

Place People Above Your Own Agenda | MWM

Put Others First = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders are servant leaders. This means they place others above their own agenda and personal needs. Are you a servant leader?
#ServantLeadership

How Many Leaders You Know of Are Authentic? | MWM
https://youtu.be/66-Enf1R9ms
Be Real And Honest = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders are able to embrace authenticity. They admit mistakes, apologize, and are real and honest with others. Authenticity doesn't guarantee success, but lack of authenticity does guarantee failure.  
#Authenticity


Who Are You Accountable To? | MWM
Reach Your Potential With Accountability = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders do this by taking accountability for their actions. They admit mistakes. Power corrupts, but a high road leader stays accountable to other people, which helps keep them on track. When you are accountable, others will help you be a better person than you could have become on your own.

MOM / Mother Day Quotes

Quotes About Mother

  • . . . many in today's world are attempting to communicate that having children, being a wife and mother can never lead to fulfillment. This, of course, is in direct contradiction to the Scriptures and it runs counter to God's principles. - Gene Getz
  • A suburban mother's role is to deliver children - obstetrically once and by car forever after. - Peter De Vries.
  • A woman, who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God. - Helen Hunt Jackson.
  • All mothers are rich when they love their children. There are no poor mothers, no ugly ones, no old ones. Their love is always the most beautiful of joys. -- Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) Novelist and essayist
  • All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. - Abraham Lincoln
  • Children turn into people. They speak rationally if aloofly, lecture you on your manners, condescend to teach you about eclectic criticism, and inclined to get married. And there you are, left with all that learning you have so painfully accumulated in twenty-odd years and with no more progeny on whom to lavish it. - Phyllis McGinley
  • It is . . . sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being. - Joseph Wood Krutch
  • Let France have good mothers and she will have good sons. - Napoleon Bonaparte
  • Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. -- Elizabeth Stone
  • Mothering is a very absorbing occupation when little people in a household multiply, and how well a woman handles those demands depends on her sense of personhood. -Gladys M. Hunt.
  • One of the easiest traps for a mother to fall into is that of over-caring for her family to the exclusion of outsiders. To take care of your family is, in itself, a good thing. But it falls far short of God's love, because it can quickly become an exclusive kind of love. - Eugenia Price.
  • She had listened to nothing, but mothers hear certain things without listening. -- Victor Hugo
  • Sooner or later we all quote our mothers. -- Bern Williams
  • The heart of a Mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you always find forgiveness. -- Honore de Balzac
  • The mother who listens to all the unfunny 'knock-knock' jokes and the vivid description of the student who threw up in the lunchroom is the same mother who will be listening as her teenager tells her about his classmates who are trying marijuana and going to motels. - Sandra Humphrey
  • The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and in a sense tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent. - Erich Fromm
  • The phrase 'working mother' is redundant. -- Jane  Sellman
  • There are few jobs, if any, that carry as much significance as that of being a mother. - Dick Innes
