We don't take ourselves seriously, and we are full of hope for the world. -Tim Keller

Funny Quotes

  • Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else. Attributed to Will Rogers.

  • It's a funny thing about life: If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. W. Somerset Maugham

One of the Best Ways to Connect with Others | MWM
Humor Is One of the Best Ways To Connect With Others = Using humor is a great way to connect with others—it softens peoples defenses, and it disengages the ego. In the words of John, if the audience is laughing with you, it's impossible not to connect with them. Humor disengages the ego and dissolves the judginess so that others will let us in. And, if your audience can enjoy themselves while learning, then that is a higher value for you, and the more the audience can enjoy your message, the higher appeal you are to others and broader your message can go.

Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun. So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity. ...

You've probably heard the saying a lot, laughter is the best medicine. It heals you, lightens the spirit, brings a smile that everyone could use. Don't be afraid to laugh, especially at yourself.

Laughter is good for the soul. Laughter can heal inner wounds, brighten a person’s day, lighten a person’s heart – and it can be contagious. When you can laugh at yourself, you free yourself – you drown out the negativity and you welcome in joy. Chances are, people are already laughing at you – so join them. Don’t be so serious.

Engaged Quotes

Quotes About Engage 

  • We are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do.
  • Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.
  • And, perhaps most importantly, regional conflicts will again and again confront us with a cruel choice between costly engagement and costly indifference.

Here’s What Draws People to You
Enjoy Your Life = Engaging people are fun to be around. They enjoy their life and are always thinking about others. Their enjoyment of life makes them fun, and thinking of others helps them connect. Do you engage with the people in your life?


The Future of Business: Start a Conversation with Your Customers
Customers Are The Heroes = There is a difference between customer service (reactive) and customer engagement (proactive). Customer Engagement takes place when companies have a dialogue with their customers, communicating with the people they are trying to serve and add value to. The future of business is engaging with customers, letting them know they are seen.



The first step in being an engaging leader is to engage with people. Be a friend, a listening ear, and an encourager and watch your following grow!


You must first create a strong foundation so that in return, people trust you and are engaged in what you're discussing. From there, people will want to follow you!

Creativity Quotes

Quotes About Creativity

  • Creativity starts with a little touch of insanity and culminates with the highest trust on its beauty, but throughout it maintains the hands of originality and humanity.
  • If you want to reach things that nobody else is reaching, you must do things nobody else is doing.
  • Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you're a human being, you feel, you suffer.   Marilyn Monroe
  • A positive mind finds a way it can be done; a negative mind looks for all the ways it can't be done.
  • “Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people’s lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure.” —Stephen R. Covey
  • “It is wonderful to be in on the creation of something, see it used, and then walk away and smile at it.” —Lady Bird Johnson
  • “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.” —Mary Lou Cook
  • “If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning. The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living.” —Marion Woodman
  • Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity. --Gary Ryan Blair

There is Always a Better Way
Love What You Do = Creativity is essential to being a successful writer. The key is to understand that no matter what you think or say there is a better way to think or say it … There is always a better answer. How do you stay creative? Love what you do, believe there is always an answer, and an even better answer to the one you have. It increases your curiosity and keeps you in the game.


Do You Accept Things the Way They Are, or Believe They Can be Better?
Experience The Freedom ... = We are born creative. As we age we can lose our free, creative spirit. A creative person is one who doesn’t accept things as others say they are, but believes things can be bigger and better. We all need creativity in our lives. Do you experience the freedom that creativity brings?



Creativity is a Muscle — Exercise it Every Day
Exercise Your “Idea” Muscle = Having an idea muscle is a requirement for all of us. In order to be creative, we have to work out that muscle regularly. Generate ideas on a regular basis. Imagine and try things outside the box.







Never Stop Creating = Creation and creativity birth anticipation and new ideas, or new ways of doing things, seeing things, perceiving things, appreciating things. Creating and being creative can jumpstart positivity, and a belief in the possibility of good things. Creative people always believe in finding an answer—they always know an answer exists. What that answer is, might still be unknown. But that doesn’t stop them from trying—they just resolve to get creative.

You’re Only as Good as Your Last Effort 
Whatever you do today, determines your success for tomorrow. If you do not give your best each and every day, on each and every project, to each and every effort, people will question your value the next go-around. To the world, you’re only as good as what you put forth before—what you left people with, a visual, a feeling, an accomplishment, or contrarily, a failure. This doesn’t mean you won’t mess up. But always make sure you’re giving your best. 

Motivation: How Leaders Inspire Effort
As a leader yourself, you may know how difficult it can be to lead an unmotivated team, and how fulfilling it can be to lead a passionate team. So, how does a leader like yourself motivate the people you lead to create powerful, positive impact?
