Rest Quotes

 Quotes About Rest

Aughey







Leaders — Gives Yourselves Permission to Breathe | MWM
Give Yourself Permission To Breathe = One of the most powerful things a leader can do is give themselves permission to breathe. Leaders often carry the weight of responsibility so heavily that they forget to give themselves what they so freely give to others—grace, rest, and room to breathe. When you pause to refuel, you're not quitting, you are preparing yourself to lead stronger. You don't need someone else's approval to rest, you need your own permission to rest.

1 Thing Your Team NEEDS You to Do as Their Leader | MWM
https://youtu.be/qp9OTFn9tY4?list=UULFcY4omYaHiAMk7x4mNcQmpg
Rest isn’t optional, it's essential! = Every single person needs time to rest and recharge. As leaders, rest isn’t optional, it's essential! Without rest, even the most passionate leaders can experience burnout. The best leaders know how to press pause so they can keep going—they know that rest is where creativity, clarity, and resilience are born. 




Are You Resting from Work, or Working from Rest?
https://youtu.be/PZEKXaNVd24
Work From Rest = Rest is important for leadership. Often, we rest from work rather than work from rest. We do our best work when we are working from rest. Resting from work leads to burn out. Working from rest leads to inspiration and a sense of anticipation and encouragement. We first need to identify the thing that restores us and gives us rest. Then we need to schedule that first in our calendar. Prioritize rest today! 

https://youtu.be/dfF7VV1IqSY


Relax and Recharge - Take a deep breath and get comfortable with yourself. Your journey requires a pause - I encourage you to get the rest you need and then get back on track! If it were easy, everyone would do it flawlessly!

Abortion

Quotes About Abortion

  • Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.            Ronald Reagan
  • Abortion stops a beating heart. Theme of West Virginians for Life State Convention
  • For us murder is once for all forbidden; so even the child in the womb. . . is not lawful for us to destroy. To forbid birth is only quicker murder. . . . The fruit is always present in the seed. Tertullian (c. 160–After 220)

  • We cannot treat the human embryo as cheap and worthless without passing judgment on all human life, including our own. Monica Furlong
  • What he's been creating, since the first beat of your heart, is a living, breathing, priceless work of art.  Stephen Curtis Chapman
  • What would God have done if Mary and Joseph had decided to have an abortion?

    CHOOSE THOUGHTS THAT STRENGTHEN YOU | MWM
    Choose Thoughts That Strengthen You = Choose thoughts that strengthen you—we often don’t notice the things we tell ourselves, but those thoughts shape how we act. When your thoughts build you up, you feel more confident and capable; when they tear you down, you feel stuck and unsure. So let go of the thoughts that make you weak, and hold on to the ones that help you grow.



    The Hallmarks of Being Thoughtful | MWM
    Thoughtful | MWM
    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. 



    Are You Nurturing Thoughts That Are Nurturing You?
    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 | MWM



    The most frequent word in the Old Testament (מחשׁבת, maḥăshebheth, from the verb חשׁב, ḥāshabh, “to think”) refers to a “device,” or a purpose firmly fixed, as in the passage in Isa (55:7-9) where the “thought” of God and of man are contrasted (compare Psa_40:5; Psa_92:5; Jer_29:11). In the New Testament διαλογισμός, dialogismós (Mat_15:19; 1Co_3:20), refers to the inner reasoning or deliberation of one with himself. 


    It is so important to be aware of your thoughts—and to take control of them. Your thoughts can literally make or break you; they shape who you become! Thoughts are incredibly powerful! So, while leaders are drawn to taking action—and that’s great, and that is necessary — that action would be so much more effective if they first learned how to spend some time thinking. Take some time today to simply think.

    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.)

    When You Arrive Speaks Volumes to Others
    Show Up On Time = If you are the first person to show up, it indicates that you are intentional and value other people. Punctuality is a very important value and also shows how you manage time and respect the time of others. Are you the first person or the last person to show up in a group?

    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.

    A Person Who Gives is a Person Who’s Fulfilled

    Be Happy, Be Generous! = The happiest people in the world are generous. People who give are fulfilled. We were created to help one another and to share. When we act out who we are supposed to be, it gives us a sense of fulfillment in following that purpose. Give more to the people you see today!

    Love is a Leadership Principle
    https://youtu.be/UDZvSA4zjAM
    Lead With Love = So many people don’t know what love is. In Greek, there are words for 4 different types of love—romantic love, brotherly love, and the love between a parent and child. The 4th word for love—the type that represents a leadership principle—is Agape. This type of love is a verb, how you behave, not how you feel. Love is patient, kind, trusting, truthful, forgiving, unselfish, and it is dedicated to love in all circumstances. If you want to be a better servant leader, lead with love.
