Today’s Work is Tomorrow’s Success | MWM

https://youtu.be/88nAHom-BH4

Success Is A Journey = Graduation signifies that you have accomplished something, but you don’t become successful the day you graduate. You became successful the day you decided to go to school, take the course, pursue the goal. Success is a continual journey that shows up at graduation. Success is not the same as recognition of success. When we graduate we are being recognized for what we did right, yesterday.

Prudence Quotes

Quotes About Prudence

A prudent man will think more important what fate has conceded to him, than what it has denied. Baltasar Gracian (1601-1658) Spanish Philosopher
I consider it a mark of great prudence in a man to abstain from threats or any contemptuous expressions, for neither of these weaken the enemy, but threats make him more cautious, and the other excites his hatred, and a desire to revenge himself.
Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity. –William Blake
Prudence is an attitude that keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy. –Samuel Johnson
Prudence is the footprint of Wisdom. --Amos Bronson Alcott
Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place. –John Milton
Prudence operates on life in the same manner as rule of composition; it produces vigilance rather than elevation; rather prevents loss than procures advantage; and often miscarriages, but seldom reaches either power or honor. –Samuel Johnson
Silence is the sanctuary of prudence. --Baltasar Gracian
Surprise is the enemy of prudence. --Goliarda Sapienza
The eye of prudence may never shut. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
The gladsome light of jurisprudence. --Edward Coke

PRU'DENCE, n. [L. prudentia.] Wisdom applied to practice.

Prudence implies caution in deliberating and consulting on the most suitable means to accomplish valuable purposes, and the exercise of sagacity in discerning and selecting them. Prudence differs from wisdom in this, that prudence implies more caution and reserve than wisdom, or is exercised more in foreseeing and avoiding evil, than in devising and executing that which is good. It is sometimes mere caution or circumspection.

Prudence is principally in reference to actions to be done, and due means, order, season and method of doing or not doing.

Scriptures

Proverbs 1:4 for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—

Proverbs 8:12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs 8:12 (NET) “I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

Job 12:16 (NET) With him are strength and prudence; both the one who goes astray and the one who misleads are his.

Proverbs 19:25 (NET) Flog a scorner, and as a result the simpleton will learn prudence; correct a discerning person, and as a result he will understand knowledge.

Proverbs 8:5 (NET) You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!

Daniel 2:14 Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch, the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.

Proverbs 3:21 My child, may they not escape from your {sight}; may you keep sound wisdom and prudence.

Proverbs 27:12 ESV The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.

Proverbs 13:16 ESV Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.

Insight Quotes

Insight is the Doorway to Change | MWM

Engage In The Process = Insight is not change. Having insight is potentially the beginning of change. Understanding and acting on that understanding are two different things. Change doesn’t take place in a day. It takes place day by day, through a process. We have to engage in a process where we act on our insights to see change.

Insight is not Borrowed; it’s Believed

https://youtu.be/zmIDVq1zlbo

It Gives You Credibility = You have insight inside. It means you live it, you aren’t just observing from the outside. You gain Insight from living and experiencing. It gives you credibility.

Maturity Quotes

Quotes About Maturity

Maturity is achieved when a person postpones immediate pleasures for long-term values. --Joshua L. Liebman

Age is just a number, maturity is a choice. --Harry Styles
There is a certain kind of maturity that can be attained only through the discipline of suffering. --D. A. Carson

Start Quotes

Quotes About Starting

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with. –W. C. Fields
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. –Arthur Ashe
Start close in, –David Whyte
Start Today Save Tomorrow –Manoj Hande
Stop aspiring. Start doing. –Nathan Lowell
Stop sketching. Start building. –Dennis Crowley
Stop learning. Start knowing –Rumi
Stop selling. Start helping. –Zig Ziglar

https://youtu.be/O4YEer_Ds-I

So often we ponder the what if’s in our lives, and we fail to focus on the what have’s. For instance, you can ask, “What if I had done this differently?” or you can reflect, asking, “What have I learned?” Everyone makes mistakes. But rather than mourning what you have seemingly lost—and the resounding adversity and failure—you can celebrate what you have gained, in insight, wisdom and character. Don’t waste time wishing for a do-over; you don’t need to start over. Instead, start now!

https://youtu.be/t1-vgD7EK90

If things didn’t work out the first time, there was likely a reason why. And, if you don’t take the time to learn “the why,” improve and start over differently, then you are inevitably going to repeat the same mistakes. So, before you decide to start over, ask yourself these questions: What did you learn, and where and in what ways are you going to improve?

Desire and happiness cannot live together. --Epictetus
Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most. --ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The things you really need are few and easy to come by; but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied. --EPICURUS
The eye sees all, but the mind shows us what we want to see. --William Shakespeare

English novelist Phyllis Dorothy James, writing as P.D. James, introduced Scotland Yard detective Adam Dalgliesh in her 1962 debut novel “Cover Her Face.” This insightful observation by a secondary character comes at the end of “The Private Patient,” the 14th and final novel in James’ popular series, published nearly half a century later in 2008. The full quote notes that it takes wisdom to determine what you want, “and then to direct all your energies towards getting it.” James could very well have been reflecting on her own lengthy career as a successful novelist when she penned this scene, which offers the reminder that achieving a happy life requires both thoughtful contemplation and focused, sustained action.

Desire is everything—it can literally overcome any circumstance, obstacle or hindrance in your way. People with desire—with passion—have already succeeded before they even begin—because they never considered that their dream, no matter its magnitude, cannot be accomplished

The In-Built Need We All Have | MWM

Listening Is The Key To Connecting = Listening is a powerful tool for effective communication, but it's more challenging than it seems. Everyone has a deep need to feel seen, heard, and understood. To truly connect with others, it's not enough to just listen—you must also show that you're genuinely engaged and attentive.

Ask Good Questions = The second growth practice is to listen daily to broaden your perspective. It is important for leaders to see through the eyes of other people. Ask your team questions and listen! You don’t learn by talking, only by listening and then asking good questions.

Listen To Broaden Your Perspective = Listen daily to broaden your perspective. You don't grow by talking, but instead by listening. It's important as a leader to see things through the eyes of others. This growth happens by listening to others and asking good questions, through hearing others talk about the things you need learn as you continue your growth journey.

Listen and Understand = People need to be understood. There is nothing that makes someone feel understood like another person quietly listening to them. Listen to people, don't talk and interrupt them—let others speak and be heard. If you want to feel understood and known, find someone to listen to you.

https://youtu.be/nv3A8RM_A74

Less Direction and More Connection = Are the people around you silent? It may very well be because you are not listening to what they have to say. When you are listening, you are the silent one—you are asking questions, but then you are quiet awaiting an answer. And it is then that you will discover how much those around you have to say, to contribute. You just need to hear them out!
