Quotes About Patience 

  • Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. --RALPH EMERSON
  • Be patient. Do the best with what you know. When you know more, adjust the trajectory. --Jen Hatmaker
  • How poor are they that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees? --William Shakespeare

  • Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. --John Quincy Adams, American President (1767-1848)
  • Patience is also a form of action. -- Auguste Rodin (French artist Auguste Rodin understood well the inherent virtue of patience. He is known for his expressive sculptures — most famously “The Thinker,” completed in 1904. Rodin spent long hours carefully crafting his creations from bronze and marble. His masterpieces, as well as his quote here, remind us that slowing down and taking time for contemplation are also crucial parts of moving forward.
  • Patience is being friends with Time.  --Vanna Bonta

Patience may be a virtue, but it's a difficult one to cultivate — especially in a world that is moving ever-faster. Yet with this quote, Enlightenment-era philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds us that patience also comes with great rewards. Such rewards are never instant, but can increase over time, like an investment that must be allowed to mature. Research suggests that people who cultivate patience experience better mental and even physical health, and have happier relationships with others over the course of their lives.

Praise in Public, Admonish in Private
https://youtu.be/rp9rIvVsLbg
Praise In Public = Patience is not being patient with poor performance, it is being patient with how we handle poor performance. Leaders need to hold people accountable and have difficult conversations, but it is important to give praise in public, and admonish in private. How can you become a more loving servant leader? Be more patient!

Who’s to Blame?
Taking responsibility is tough. No one wants to admit when they mess up or they’re wrong—it goes against all our natural instincts. But when you start to point fingers and play the blame game, know that you are likely not the only one playing—chances are, there are several fingers pointing back at you. It’s best to learn to take responsibility early on—the first time—so you can learn from your mistakes and grow, becoming that much more effective as a leader. 

It’s Not Them, It’s You
Sometimes, when a person has a lot of problems with a lot of different people, the crux of the problem might very well be that person. When you’re looking at a problem, before you start the blame-game, take some time to reflect inward. How might you have contributed to the problem? Accept responsibility where it’s appropriate. Because if you are the “problem,” the only way to rid yourself of the same problems happening again and again, is to first fix the problem brewing within.

Effective Delegation is Empowerment
Empower Your People = The art of delegation involves effectively getting tasks off a leader's plate, while valuing the person you delegate to. Good delegation is when you give someone a task to do with ownership to do it, resources to complete it, and follow-up to hold them accountable. Delegate appropriately in a way that honors others. Be intentional about not just delegating tasks you don’t want to do, but instead, delegate the tasks that others can do better. 






In order to be successful as a leader, ask for help! Prioritize what needs to be done and delegate what your team needs to do - trust them. Together you will succeed!

Lazy Quotes

Quotes About Lazy


  • Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. --Will Rogers
  • Do not be lazy. Run each day's race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor. --Basilea Schlink
  • Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can't give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don't have to work because the other half's going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody's going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation. --Adrian Rogers
  • Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction. --Anne Frank
  • Laziness never arrived at the attainment of a good wish. --Miguel de Cervantes
  • Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. --Jules Renard
  • Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man. --Jimmy Lyons
  • It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance? --Ronald Reagan
  • Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. --JULES RENARD

Reflection Turns Experience into Insight | MWM
Be A Sustained Thinker = The third growth practice is to think daily and apply what you have learned. Evaluated experience is the best teacher. Reflection turns experience into insight. After a new experience, ask yourself “What did I love? What did I learn?” and you will grow. Sustained thinkers look for a better, bigger, deeper answer.

Are You Nurturing Thoughts That Are Nurturing You?
https://youtu.be/wSbv-WrVPiY
Nurture Healthy Thoughts = What thoughts are you nurturing the most in your mind? Are those thoughts helping and serving you in the direction you want to go? Today is an opportunity for you to pre-decide the thoughts you are going to nurture. When you nurture healthy thoughts, it will lead you in a positive direction. 


Good Thoughts Shared Become Great Thoughts
https://youtu.be/eHWHVMgr_68
Share Your Thoughts With Others = In John Maxwell’s book, How Successful People Think, he discusses 11 thinking patterns that successful people engage in that unsuccessful people do not. One of these thinking patterns is Shared Thinking. 
Successful people share ideas and thoughts with the people around them and request feedback. When you share with others, there is an energy that births other thoughts. A great thought is not birthed in a vacuum. Great thinking is a result of sharing thoughts and ideas with others. John says “Some of my best thinking has been done by others.” Do you share your thoughts, and allow others the opportunity to make them better?


Good Thoughts Shared Become Great Thoughts
What Kind Of Thinker Are You?= John Maxwell’s book, How Successful People Think, has helped millions of people. Watch as John discusses the inspiration behind the book and how his father discovered from a young age the incredible power of thinking. 
The greatest gap between successful and unsuccessful people is the thinking gap. Successful people think differently, which controls their behavior and determines the direction of their lives.

Do You Sit With Your Thoughts And Ideas? = In John Maxwell’s book, How Successful People Think, he discusses 11 thinking patterns that successful people engage in, that unsuccessful people do not. One of these thinking patterns is Sustained Thinking. 
Sustained thinking is the ability to take a thought and stay with it longer than people typically do. If you take a fleeting thought, and sit with it for a long while, it has the potential to mature and become a great thought. 
Your first thought is not going to be a great thought. Stick with it! Sustain your thought, and it will become better and may even mature into a great thought. Do you sit with your thoughts and ideas long enough?



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. 






The Hallmarks of Being Thoughtful | MWM
Thoughtful | MWM
https://youtu.be/ANCGp5ORqbE
Way Above Average = What makes someone thoughtful? A person who maximizes their words and actions. The first step to thoughtfulness is thinking about others. 
Thoughtfulness Is An Asset In Life = A thoughtful person is one who spends their time maximizing their words and actions. This type of person's words and actions weigh more than others because they have taken the time to think about others before taking action. So quit thinking about yourself and become a person of significance—a person of thoughtfulness.
Thoughtfulness is the stepping stone to making an impact = A thoughtful person spends their time maximizing their words and their actions. Their words weigh more than average words. Their actions weigh more than average words. When they take action, it has a great impact, and even greater return. They are considered wise and considerate. The example they set is above average. But why? Because they quit thinking of themselves and put others first, and they were able to become a person of significance.
