JOHN C. MAXWELL -
Every time you make a mistake, don’t bring up everything that’s wrong with yourself; tell yourself that you’re paying the price for growth and that you will learn to do better next time. Every positive thing you can say to yourself will help.
JOHN C. MAXWELL -

JOHN C. MAXWELL -
If you don’t have peace, it isn’t because someone took it from you; you gave it away. You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.
JOHN C. MAXWELL -
People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.
