It’s Not What Happens TO You; It’s What Happens IN You | MWM
https://youtu.be/b5H_i8ilJC0
Have A Positive Attitude = Attitude is everything. It is important to have a great attitude about yourself, other people, and life. It isn’t what happens to you, but what happens in you. If you can find the bright side of things in tough situations, keeping a positive attitude, you will be capable of happiness in any circumstance.
#Dad #Attitude #Happy



Happiness is Not About What Happens TO Us, But IN Us
Have A Great Attitude = Attitude is everything. It is important to have a great attitude about yourself, other people, and life. It isn’t what happens to you, but what happens in you. If you can find the bright side of things in tough situations, keeping a positive attitude, you will be capable of happiness in any circumstance.
Happiness Is Not About What Happens To Us, But In Us = Have a great attitude about yourself and life. It's not what happens to you, it's what happens in you. If you have a great attitude about life and yourself, then you can be happy.

Seek Happiness, Find Disappointment; Seek Value, Find Happiness
https://youtu.be/nRttDvLAhr0
Seek Value = True happiness comes from a deep inner satisfaction and knowledge that we are good people with good values, doing our best to make a difference in life. That is a happiness that doesn’t leave when the mood changes. If you seek happiness, it will often disappoint or disappear … But if you seek value, by adding value to people and making a positive difference, happiness will come to you.


https://youtu.be/qYpShyvXr9w
An Important Choice = Happiness starts with you. That's the key! You have the choice to decide how you will start each day, interact with those around you, and most importantly be for yourself. 




Happiness Is an Inside Job = Happiness cannot be acquired. Often, people set out to pursue happiness in a spouse, a friend, a job, a family, a home, a title or a whole lot of money. But happiness isn’t “out there.” Happiness starts inside of you. It is a gift you can give to yourself.

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. 
#together

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. 
#value #people

Some Days We’re Eagles; Other Days We’re Hippos | MWM
https://youtu.be/aQ6rpAJ4w-8
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
https://youtu.be/C8wQoazJzyE
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.

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. 
#Accountability


See More Than What Is — See What Could Be | MWM
See Yourself In The Bigger Picture = 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 live by the bigger picture. It is important to see reality, but also to see what could be … The real picture is where you are today, but the bigger picture is where you could be tomorrow. You have to see yourself in the bigger picture in order to get there.
#BigPicture

High Road Leaders Don’t Keep Score | MWM
Don’t Keep Score = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses the qualities of a high road leader. High road leaders live above keeping score. Keep track so you can make sure you give more than you take, but don’t try to control people by keeping score.
#KeepScore
#Competition


High Road Leaders Want More For You Than From You | MWM
Share The High Road With Others = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses the twelve qualities of a high road leader. Learning and adopting these qualities will help young leaders grow into the best leaders they can be. High road leaders desire the best for others.

MWM | THE HIDDEN ACCELERATOR
Relationships Are The Hidden Accelerator To Success = In Chris' new book, From Drift to Drive, he discusses relationships—the hidden accelerator. Everything we do in life requires relationships. If you want to grow and go to the next level, you need people who are going to push you forward. Because of this, you need to be intentional about who gets your time and energy.



Be the Rising Tide | MWM
Lift Up Others = The goal in any relationship should be to make the other person feel more important. The relationships in our lives are gifts, and it is our responsibility to steward them. Lift up the people in your relationships, and make the relationships around you better. 



Do You Add Value or Take it Away? | MWM
Connect With Others = Relationships—how we connect with others—are key in our success. Relationships have the power to resolve the negatives in our lives. Are you a plus or a minus? Do you add value to others or take value away? If you want to do well with people, add value to them. That is what relationships are all about. 


https://youtu.be/SIzWgdGpzoY
Be Someone's Confidence = Many people we come across in life are insecure, and we want to help give them confidence. Being secure and confident in yourself is an asset in helping other people. When you can convey this to others, you can pass it on, and others can experience that security when they are around you, thus further growing and developing a solid relationship with them.


https://youtu.be/FJfdr6LXI_Y
Compliment Others = People want to feel special, so compliment them. In the first 30 seconds of meeting someone, say something positive about them, to them, and say it in front of their friends. Complimenting others is the best way to make others feel like they are special. 


Be The Hope = People want a bright future, so give them hope. Whoever you come into contact with, you want to be able to express to them something positive that is in their life or that can happen in their life. We see what we look for—so help people look for hope. 


https://youtu.be/Z453IOFOr6w
Listen and Understand = People need to be understood. There is nothing that makes someone feel understood like another person quietly listening to them. Listen to people, don't talk and interrupt them—let others speak and be heard. If you want to feel understood and known, find someone to listen to you.


https://youtu.be/2jgqCLw_X94
Don't Just Give Directions—Walk With Others = People lack direction—walk with them. If you want to help a person, you don't just give them directions, instead you take the journey with them. Exceed their expectations and walk along the journey with them. 

Connect With Others = People are selfish, so if you really want to be able to help someone, you need to speak to their needs first. By listening to people and letting them talk it out, you can then talk to them—not correct them or change them—by letting them know you know how they feel. Connect with others on their ground. 

How to Help Others Win Big | MWM
Help Others Win = We all want to win, but most people do not win on a consistent basis. We don't want to continually lose our way to success, we need wins and victories under our belt to keep us going. Success is all about several wins and steps taken, and you step your way up to success. Do what you can to help people get little wins under their belt. 
How To Help Others Win Big = People want success, so help them win. Most people don't win on a consistent basis, and because of that their self image and confidence goes down. Things that they could do. they don't do. The person they could become, they don't become. You've got to get some wins under your belt. Success is all about several steps, and several wins.
