All’s Well that Begins Well | MWM
All Is Well That Begins Well = The word beginning speaks of anticipation—a fresh start. Your attitude on the front end of something new, determines your success on the back end. When you start something, begin with a positive thought. 






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.




The New Year is all about a new beginning—it’s why we are drawn to the extravagant celebration and festivities; it’s what keeps us up, counting down until midnight, to witness the start of our something new! But you don’t have to wait for the first of January each year to start over. If you aren’t satisfied with the way things are, change them—make a decision to begin again now.



In trying times, begin each moment with a positive thought. Today is your day to do anything you want! You may be feeling a sense of confusion or perhaps you're feeling a sense of positivity, whatever it may be, try to see the light in it.


Happy New Year! Just like that, another year has come and gone. Today is YOUR day to start fresh, create a new beginning. Take a few moments to yourself today and reflect on all you have achieved, mistakes or challenges you have faced and focus on how you want to continue to grow and invest in yourself this next year.

Generosity Quotes

Quotes About Generosity
  • Generosity is a quality that many men admire. But if a prince develops a reputation for generosity, he will ruin his state. A reputation for generosity requires outward lavishness, which eventually depletes all of the prince’s resources. In the end, the prince will be forced to burden his people with excessive taxes in order to raise the money to maintain his reputation for generosity. Ultimately, the prince’s liberality will make the people despise and resent him. ~Niccolò Machiavelli
  • Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting. --PRINCESS ELIZABETH ASQUITH BIBESCO
  • Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. --Khalil Gibran
  • Generosity is a function of the heart, not the wallet. --Wayne Dyer
  • Generosity is doing something for someone else and expecting nothing in return.


Putting People First | MWM
The Power Of Generosity = Be generous, especially in times of challenge. Generosity isn’t just about giving money—it’s about putting people first, even when it costs you. True generosity multiplies. What a leader gives away in trust, time, or care always returns in greater measure.




The Key to Success & Significance | MWM
https://youtu.be/IGbpsdlQcIs

A Generous Mindset Can Bring You Lots of Joy = Generous people are normally very, very fulfilled. If you have been blessed, the best way to take those blessings is to turn them around and pass them on to others. Selfish people are often unhappy, but unselfish, generous people are always fulfilled and happy. Generous people are serving and living for others. By having an abundance and generous mindset, others will be attracted to you because you put others first.





Comparison Kills Generosity | MWM
https://youtu.be/Vz30y6Uhfso?list=UULFcY4omYaHiAMk7x4mNcQmpg
Give Others What You Value = There is no higher level of living than giving without expecting anything in return. People who embody generosity experience incredible freedom and happiness. Comparison kills generosity. The measure of your generosity is based on what you have, not what you give. Don’t let possessions take charge of your mind. If you are enslaved to greed, you cannot lead. 



A Person Who Gives is a Person Who’s Fulfilled
https://youtu.be/AE_Y0jyyMeY
Be Happy, Be Generous! = The happiest people in the world are generous. People who give are fulfilled. We were created to help one another and to share. When we act out who we are supposed to be, it gives us a sense of fulfillment in following that purpose. Give more to the people you see today!


The Impact of Generosity | MWM
Be Generous, Give Back What You Earn = Be generous with your money. As you are building your life and businesses, always strive to have three sources of income. And then give back what you can financially to others. Being generous with your money allows you to serve others and help those you otherwise wouldn't have been able to help. You can't give what you don't have, and once you earn more, pass it on. 
The Impact Of Generosity = Because of generosity, you can have—or give—the ability and resources to others to do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to do.



Generosity Gives Back To All = By living a generous life, you set aside time and resources to give to others. This practice will not only benefit others, but also benefit you. Based on the practice of tithing, you give 10% of what you have back to God. You need to have an open hand in life in order to give more and accept more in life, giving what you have where it is needed most.

Generosity
Generosity is an attitude = Generosity doesn’t have anything to do with blessings or money, it is an attitude. There are people who have very little, but are always sharing what they have with others. There are others who have a lot, but hold on tightly to what is theirs. What kind of person are you? Are you a generous person, opening yourself to receive more?
Generosity Is A Mindset = Generosity isn't about money, it's an attitude. Generosity is the idea that if you keep what you have, you can't have more. But If you open yourself up to give more, you can also receive more.


Success Stabilizers

A person that owns their money, instead of their money owning them. No matter how much you have, pass along a little bit of wisdom or wealth to help others succeed.





Become a river... allow others to share the greatness with you. Be a giver, it will be your greatest joy, no matter how little or how much you have!

Jealousy is almost always rooted in insecurity. Whether we’re comparing ourselves to strangers on social media or feeling inferior to a new colleague, jealousy is an emotion that can trap us in a self-perpetuating cycle of discontent.
Once we recognize where our jealousy comes from — feeling self-conscious about our looks or sensing distance from a romantic partner, for instance — we can begin to address the real issues and take constructive steps toward handling our envy.
This may look like building our self-confidence or initiating vulnerable conversations with loved ones who might not always realize how their actions affect us. If we don’t make an effort to change our perspective or our actions, jealousy can continue to fester inside us, leading to increased alienation and frustration.
Perhaps one of the hardest things to remember is that jealousy is a natural human emotion, and it’s OK to feel this way from time to time. Judging ourselves for feeling envious only makes it more difficult to heal.

4th of July Quotes INDEPENDENCE DAY

Quotes About 4th of July (Independence Day)

  • Extreme independence is as destructive to a relationship as total dependence.
  • Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.   Abraham Lincoln
  • How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! --THOMAS JEFFERSON
  • Independence is not strength but unrealized weakness and is the very essence of sin. There was no independence in our Lord, the great characteristic of his life was submission to his Father.
  • Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself. --THOMAS A. EDISON
  • No matter what other nations may say about the United States, immigration is still the sincerest form of flattery.
  • Of all the different purposes set before mankind, the most disastrous is surely "the pursuit of happiness," slipped into the American Declaration of Independence along with "life and liberty" as an unalienable right, almost accidentally, at the last moment. Happiness is like a young deer, fleet and beautiful. Hunt him, and he becomes a poor frantic quarry; after the kill, a piece of stinking flesh.
  • One flag, one land, one heart, one hand. Happy Independence Day!
  • Sin is not wrongdoing; it is wrong being, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
  • The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation. Woodrow Wilson
  • Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.  Thomas Paine
  • To all of my friends. I wish you a Happy 4th of July! Have a safe blessed day. May almighty God bless the United States of America! Amen!

As John Maxwell says in today’s lesson, “The more we grow, the more we know we need to grow.” As we develop ourselves, our awareness of the areas in which we need to improve expands. So, in today’s episode, John teaches something that author Ken Blanchard calls “the four development levels that move people from dependence to independence.” 
In other words, these are the stages through which we become less dependent on what got us here and more focused on what will take us there. After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss their own journeys from dependence to independence and how they are applying these principles at Maxwell Leadership.
