    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.

    Share Your Thoughts With Others = In John Maxwell’s book, How Successful People Think, he discusses 11 thinking patterns that successful people engage in that unsuccessful people do not. One of these thinking patterns is Shared Thinking. 
    Successful people share ideas and thoughts with the people around them and request feedback. When you share with others, there is an energy that births other thoughts. A great thought is not birthed in a vacuum. Great thinking is a result of sharing thoughts and ideas with others. John says “Some of my best thinking has been done by others.” Do you share your thoughts, and allow others the opportunity to make them better?

    Your first thought is not going to be a great thought. Stick with it! Sustain your thought, and it will become better and may even mature into a great thought. Do you sit with your thoughts and ideas long enough?

    Some of Your Greatest Thinking Will be Done by Others | MWM
    Share What You Learn = The 4th essential to growth is sharing what you learn. Sharing has compounding results. A great thought is a result of several good thoughts. When you share, you multiply the potential for a great thought. Collaboration leads to improved and matured thoughts and ideas.



    The Power of Sharing Credit with Others | MWM
    The Power of Sharing Credit with Others = The charismatic leader is all about swimming upstream, climbing a hill, and doing things that others are not willing to do—and one of the things people want is to receive credit from others for what they have done as a part of their journey. A true leader will recognize that other people have been there to help them, and share that credit for being part of the journey. By sharing the credit, you will help them—and you—and you both will rise to a higher level. 








    Are You Telling, or Are You Creating a Shared Experience?
    Have A Hunger To Learn = When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Leaders should work to share an experience rather than just teaching it. A really good teacher makes the student part of the lesson, instead of trying to make the lesson part of the student. Teach well by sharing what you know with others.

    Dinah Maria Mulock Craik was one of the most successful women poets and novelists of the 19th century. She published her first work, “The Ogilvies,” in 1849 to critical acclaim, and soon garnered comparison to such influential writers as George Eliot. “The Ogilvies,” in which this quote appears, follows the romantic entanglements and subsequent marriages of three cousins (a popular 19th-century literary convention, as Jane Austen proved decades earlier). Craik’s words offer a timeless truism about love’s cyclical nature — that the care and compassion we give others, we’ll receive in kind. 





    French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of the classic 1943 novel “The Little Prince,” wrote often on themes of love, suffering, and connection. Saint-Exupéry himself was known for his long, complex marriage to writer and artist Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry, who inspired the character of the Rose in “The Little Prince.” In the book, the Prince and the Rose eventually realize that while they do love each other, they show it in different ways. With this line, Saint-Exupéry reminds us that true love should always feel nourishing.

    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.


    Do You Love Unconditionally? | MWM
    Love Unconditionally = No matter what happens in life, having someone who will listen to you and love you, is unconditional love. Unconditional love is having someone you can go to and say anything to, and they will always love you. Nothing can replace unconditional love. 
    Do You Love Unconditionally? = When you love unconditionally, the impact and influence can be tremendous. When you love, and are loved unconditionally, no matter what you say or do, you will always be loved. Nothing can replace unconditional love.

    There Is Value In Loving People = John shares with us that we need to love people, indicating that all of his previous lessons from his father are products of loving people. By adding value to people, traveling the high road, and encouraging others—all of these lessons are rooted in loving people.

    See the best in others.



    https://youtu.be/W6PF7qr5QRU

    The Highest Compliment = Love others as you love yourself. There is so much power behind the word love, use it generously and wisely. 

    It's Always About Others = When you stop loving your people, you have essentially concluded your ability to effectively lead them. While it is important to lead with authenticity, so your people believe in you, it is far more important for you to believe in your people. Your leadership depends on it. Without it, you might as well quit.
