Your Habits Equal Your Quality of Life
https://youtu.be/SrUyEq0MjLs
Improve Your Life With Good Habits - In James Clear’s book Atomic Habits, he teaches us how to cultivate good habits. One of the things he teaches is that once you create good habits in your life, your life automatically improves. Build your habits based on your identity and who you are for best results. 


Should we make a habit of it or not? We all have habits—habits are the things that we do without thinking. Some habits are good, and some are bad. But while they all come to us naturally, we should make an effort to be aware of them.

Addiction Quotes

Quotes About Addictions

  • All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.  W. H. Auden (1907 - 1973), A Certain World (1970).
  • As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.  Henry Van Dyke, author (1852-1933).
  • Every clinging addiction I ever had came from a vain attempt to 'fill my cup' with something other than the Spirit of Christ.  Mark Wylie, Young Adult Minister for the University Church of Christ in Denver, CO.
  • For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three -- the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings.  Peter McWilliams.
  • He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone.  Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pastor and theologian (1906-1945), Life Together.
  • I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of death from being a total surprise.  Chuck Palahniuk, Satirist, novelist, b. 1961.
  • I can resist everything except temptation.  Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

  • Men of intemperate mind never can be free. Their passions forge their fetters.  Edmund Burke (1729-1797), British statesman.
  • Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.  François duc de la Rochefoucauld, 17th-century French philosopher.

  • O what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
  • People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.  Ann Landers.
  • Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.  John W. Gardner, b. 1912, American Educator.
  • Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all.  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., American Jurist (1841 -1935).
  • Sin never fulfills its promises. It will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and make you pay more than you could ever afford.  Ken Davis, from Lighten Up.
  • The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.  Thomas Carlyle, 19th-century Scots-English historian, author (1795-1881); Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, (1840).
  • The innkeeper loves the drunkard, but not for a son-in-law.  Yiddish Proverb.
  • There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.  William James (1842 - 1910), The Principles of Psychology (1890).
  • Tobacco is a filthy weed, That from the devil does proceed; It drains your purse, it burns your clothes, And makes a chimney of your nose. Benjamin Waterhouse, medical doctor (1754 - 1846).

Punctual Quotes

Quotes About Punctual


  • Unpunctuality is a vile habit. --Winston Churchill
  • Punctuality is the thief of time. --Oscar Wilde
  • Sooner or later, I'll be punctual. --Ashleigh Brilliant
  • Argh... I could be better with my time. I like to be punctual, but I could be better. --Kelly Rowland
  • My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie? ---Billy Wilder
  • Now, this is probably the place to consider punctuality in the work of God, also. Isn’t it strange that the very fault that would wreck a business, sink a ship, ruin a railroad, is tolerated at the very altar of God? ‌Why is it that in the church of God so few are concerned about lack of punctuality? The carelessness they show about the work of God would wreck a business or upset the economy, or if done in our bodies would ruin our health.… ‌I have been around a long time and I am convinced that generally people are not spiritual at all if they are not punctual. If they are so lacking in self-discipline and so selfish and so inconsiderate of others and their time that they will not be punctual in the service of God and His church, they are fooling nobody! I repeat it again—if you are not punctual, you are not spiritual! ‌Everyone can be excused for the emergencies of life—there are accidents that will at times keep any of us from meeting our appointments. But I am trying to show my concern about those who practice the art of not being punctual until it has become a habit in their life. There isn’t anyone important enough to justify that kind of behavior, and anybody that is not punctual, habitually, is guilty of deception and falsehood. He says he will be there—then he fails to appear! ‌--A. W. Tozer (Who Put Jesus on the Cross?, 25, 26.)

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

Driven Quotes

Quotes About Driven or Drive
  • Compassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.
  • We humans are a hungry lot. We are driven by a craving to know who we are. Yet who we are is embedded in the heart of a holy God. Unless we seek for ourselves in the epicenter of God's grace, we will be forever condemned to walk the arid edges of self-understanding.  Calvin Miller
  • The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family.

Effective Leaders Want Others to Win | MWM
Effective Leaders Want Others to Win = People with charisma want other people to win. You don't have to win for yourself, but if you help other people win, they'll help you win and you will become a bigger person to other people.





Would You Rather Win or Be Kind? | MWM
Would You Rather Win Or Be Kind? = If you have the choice to be right—to win—or be kind, always choose to be kind. You don't always have to be right, you don't have to win everything, instead we can be kind and ask others their opinions in order to connect.



Enjoy the Victories; Grow Through the Struggles | MWM
Everyone wants to be a winner. There is little difference between success and failure. Both are a necessary part of success. When we go through life, we enjoy the victories, but we grow through the struggles. We need those struggles in order to grow. Do the best you can, keep growing, and you will be a winner. 




Impressing is Not Influencing | MWM
https://youtu.be/E-RtcXBvYCY
Choose Kindness = We all want to win and to be right, but we don’t always need to be in competition with others. We don’t influence others by impressing them about our own greatness, but by impressing upon them how wonderful they are. If you have the choice to be right or the choice to be kind, choose to be #kind. 

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.




Who doesn’t want to win? We are experts at desiring to win. We all want to be winners so much so that we live by slogans that tell us if you’re not winning, you’re losing. But, sometimes, if you’re not winning, you’re simply not practicing. Everyone knows the saying, “Practice makes perfect.” But practice also makes winners. The formula to winning: Do the practice—do what you need to do to get to where you need to go. It’s really that simple.






Tim Tebow, like many of us, enjoys winning. He enjoys winning so much that he despises losing. Losing, for Tim, is painful. But Tim soon learned that he may have been wrong about what makes a winner. Is it a championship, a trophy or a well-known name? Or, is a winner made up of something much deeper, much more significant, impactful, purposeful and powerful?

MWM | EXCELLENCE
The Price Of Excellence = Excellence takes time. It's not compromising on the standard. Excellence is chasing the higher bar. It's the little things that get you noticed and push you to the top. Nothing says excellence like an unwavering commitment to the standard all the way down to the smallest of details. But are you willing to pay the price for the pursuit of excellence? 



What Makes Charismatic Leaders Different | MWM
Do Everything With Excellence = Do everything with excellence. One of the things that sets people apart from others is excellence. Don't just try to meet expectations, exceed them. And when you exceed them, it's because you do everything with excellence—you have a high standard for yourself that extends to other people to help lift them up as well.



Practice + High Expectations = Mastery | MWM
Excel In All That You Do = A person that loves mastery loves to do things extremely well, and they will exceed expectations in everything they do. To become a person of mastery, don't try to master a lot of things immediately. Pick one thing that you can really do with excellence and go for it, practice it, have high expectations, and give it 100%. That level of mastery will pay off for you!




Practice + High Expectations = Mastery
https://youtu.be/dsQkTRU8-i4
Are You Motivated By Mastery? = In his book, The Leader’s Greatest Return, John Maxwell discusses what motivates people and how it is important to sit down with your team and learn what motivates them. Mastery is one of the 7 motivations he discusses. A person who is motivated by mastery loves to do things extremely well and exceed expectations. To become a person of mastery, don’t try to master everything, but focus on the one thing that would really benefit your life. When you discover that thing, practice every day, have high expectations, and give 100%. 


Perfectionism is Rooted in Fear

Giving the Gift of “Your Best”
https://youtu.be/k1fauM58agI






Chose Progress Over Perfection = So many of us struggle with perfectionism. It is rooted in fear and can lead to procrastination. Instead of being a perfectionist, focus on excellence—learning in the journey—the process of making something good and then great. Perfectionism is elusive, it is a state that you can never reach. If you choose excellence over perfectionism, you are choosing progress over perfection.
