The Seasons of Life = If you want to get the most out of life, maximize the seasons. Some moments might be full of victories and other times you're coasting through the days. It's all about balance!


If you’re looking for daily balance, you will never find it. Life has a way of surprising you on any given day, at any given moment, and it can throw you off track. If you think of the bigger picture and view this moment as a part of a season rather than just a moment on its’ own, you can better determine who or what needs your focus and attention now—your family, your business, your relationships.

A Good Partner is Hard to Find | MWM
Appreciate The Power Of Partnership = Partnerships, or work connections, can be rewarding and humbling. True partnership is one of the greatest gifts one could give you. Pause today, and appreciate the power and honor of the partnerships you have in your life. Great partners are hard to find, so when you do find one, express your gratitude. 


Iron Sharpens Iron; Values Sharpen Values | MWM
Collaborate With Those Who Share Your Values = Partner with like-valued people—those who share your core values and ethical standards. These partnerships can lead to meaningful collaboration and result in sustainable relationships that have a strong foundation! 




Can You Partner With Someone Who Disagrees With You? | MWM
Don’t Attach A Person’s Ideas To Their Motives = Great leaders are able to partner with people they disagree with. Disagreeing with someone is not the same as someone having a disagreeable character. There is a significant difference between believing the other side’s ideas are wrong and believing the other side’s motives are wrong. Disagreeing in a partnership is not a problem, but can be a strength if you learn how to work together. Leveraging differences as strengths in a partnership can strengthen you, your team, and your perspective.  


We are Better Together | MWM
We Need Each Other = The best way to maximize positive outcomes is to partner with others. Improvement is limited without partnership. Sharing influence and networking with others opens a whole new world to everyone involved. One is too small of a number to achieve greatness, it takes a partnership. 






Partnerships are a great way for leaders to expand beyond their own limitations. When you partner with someone, you acquire their potential in addition to your own. Together, you have the ability to conquer new ground and increase your influence.


Building alliances is paramount to accomplishing much—working well together to increase effectiveness and return. If you have small goals and want to accomplish very little, go it alone. But if your dream is big and you want your influence to reach far, you’re going to need more than a one-man or woman crew. Come together to make great, world-changing things happen!

Partnership
P`ARTNERSHIP, n. The association of two or more persons for the purpose of undertaking and prosecuting any business, particularly trade or manufactures, at their joint expense. In this case, the connection is formed by contract; each partner furnishing a part of the capital stock and being entitled to a proportional share of profit, or subject to a proportional share of loss; or one or more of the partners may furnish money or stock, and the other or others contribute their services. The duration of the partnership may be limited by the contract, or it may be left indefinite, subject to be dissolved by mutual agreement. A partnership or association of this kind is a standing or permanent company, and is denominated a firm or house. We say, A and B entered into partnership for the importation and sale of goods, or for manufacturing cotton or glass.
Partnerships may be and usually are associations of private persons, not incorporated. In other cases, the company is incorporated. Banking companies in the United States are usually incorporated, and are essentially partnerships, but do not bear that name. Manufacturing companies are also frequently incorporated.
1. Joint interest or property.

Scriptures
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NLT) Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?
Philippians 1:5 for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.

Pride Quotes

Quotes about Pride
  • It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride. --John Ruskin
  • A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility. C. S. Lewis (1898–1963)
  • A man who prays without ceasing, if he achieves something, knows why he achieved it, and can take no pride in it... for he cannot attribute it to his own powers, but attributes all his achievements to God, always renders thanks to him and constantly calls upon him, trembling lest he be deprived of help. - Dorotheus of Gaza
  • A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you’re looking down, you can’t see something that’s above you. C. S. Lewis (1898–1963)
  • A vain man can never be utterly ruthless; he wants to win applause, and therefore he accommodates himself to others. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
  • Absalom was vain about his hair, therefore was he hanged by his hair. Talmud
  • An egotist is a man whose self-importance makes his mind shrink while his head swells.
  • And the devil did grin, for his darling sin Is pride that apes humility. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
  • Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness, and pride of power, and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear ... Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer 
  • Humility is an elusive virtue. The more we pursue it - and the more we seem to acquire it - the more we take pride in our accomplishment, and we find ourselves back at square one. ~ Mike Aquilina   (Love in the Little Things: Tales of Family Life) 
  • In the final analysis our great problem with holiness is not that our concepts of holiness are feeble, but that our hearts are rebellious. We are selfish, that's our problem. And the fact that we often won't admit our selfishness shows how deep the pride goes. - Floyd McClung
  • In the final analysis, our great problem with holiness is not that our concepts of holiness are feeble, but that our hearts are rebellious. We are selfish, that's our problem.  And the fact that we often won't admit our selfishness shows how deep the pride goes.     -- Floyd McClung
  • March 6 is: Middle Name Pride Day

  • Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. ~ Thomas Merton (No Man is an Island)
  • Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Satan's number one weapon is pride. God's number one defense is humility. - Larry Burkett
  • Some people serve with pride -- because they 'want to' do and be their best; other people serve with disdain because they 'have to' do their job. Which person do you think will end up running the show? -- Jeffrey Gitomer 
  • Swallow your pride occasionally, it's not fattening. - Frank Tyger 
  • The only lifelong, reliable motivations are those that come from within, and one of the strongest of those is the joy and pride that grow from knowing that you've just done something as well as you can do it. ~ Lloyd Dobens 
  • Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune. ~ Carl Gustav Jung

The #1 Source of Our Problems | MWM
Share Credit And Admit Your Mistakes = As one of the greatest sins of mankind, pride has gotten us into a lot of trouble. It can be a positive thing when we take pride in our accomplishments as long as we share credit with others and do not become arrogant.




What Are You Proud Of? | MWM
https://youtu.be/lkMIaOjIlVU
Feel Grateful Instead Of Prideful = Pride can be about wanting admiration from others, and we often take pride in things that we haven’t earned or had any part in. Pride can mature into gratitude, but gratitude can sour into pride. Being grateful is better than being prideful over something. 



Admit Your Mistakes And Share Credit = As one of the greatest sins for mankind, pride has gotten us into a lot of trouble. It can be a positive thing when we take pride in our accomplishments as long as we share credit with others and do not become arrogant.

Helen Keller, born in 1880, was only 19 months old when she lost both her sight and her hearing. She likened her early years to being “at sea in a dense fog,” but everything changed on March 5, 1887, when Anne Sullivan arrived at her door. Sullivan, who was herself partially blind, was 20 years old when she was hired to teach Keller language, including reading and writing. The two women became lifelong friends and companions. With Sullivan at her side, Keller went on to write 14 books and hundreds of essays. She toured the world and became an acclaimed speaker, advocating for disability rights and many other causes throughout her life.
