“What we give our attention to, grows.”

Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, see if your behavior matches your goals.

As a manager the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.

Business is like tennis. Those who serve well win.

You have the power to help people become winners.

Take what you do seriously, but yourself lightly.

Knowing where you are going is the first step to getting there.

Learning is defined as a change in behavior. You haven’t learned a thing until you take action and use it.

Everyday do something in relation to everything that’s important to you.

We are not just our behavior. We are the person managing our behavior.

Connect the dots between individual roles and the goals of the organization. When people see that connection, they get a lot of energy out of work. They feel the importance, dignity, and meaning in their job.

Feedback is the breakfast of champions.

People don’t mind being challenged to do better if they know the request is coming from a caring heart.

Effective team leaders adjust their style to provide what the group can’t provide for itself.

Real communication happens when people feel safe.

Purpose can never be about achievement; it is much bigger.

The best way to develop responsibility in people is to give them responsibility.

The more completely we focus our attention on our Creator and Lord, the less chance there is of our being distracted by creatures.

Attention to the human body brings healing and regeneration. Through awareness of the body we remember who we really are.

The only time that any of us have to grow or change or feel or learn anything is in the present moment. But we’re continually missing our present moments, almost willfully, by not paying attention.

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.

You could think of mindfulness as wise and affectionate attention.

Prayer consists simply in giving to God all the careful attention of which the soul is capable.

Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention.

I encourage everyone to know that God has a plan for their life and that God never makes a mistake even though it seems like He is not listening or paying attention sometimes.
