This is the first book I have read by him. This is a little and powerful book. Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life.
Failure comes when we shrink from them. What motivates you? What makes you want to be your best for the glory of God? The most important time to affirm people is when they stretching. When you stop stretching, you become boring. Few people stretch all their lives, but those few people inspire the rest of us. I have found that you do one of two things in life. You either pay the price now and enjoy later, or you enjoy now and pay the price later.
But you will always pay the price. Victory becomes ours when we think right about our problems, feel right about our problems, and then act right about our problems. We need more than just a positive mental attitude. It is winning that gives us confidence. Maxwell Predetermine your course of action Lay out your goals Adjust your priorities Notify key personnel Allow time for acceptance Head into action Expect problems Always point to success Daily review your plan When leaders fail to conquer their own problems, their followers never become victorious We ought to pray that God will give us a seemingly insurmountable barrier so that our people can see the power of God at work in us to defeat giants We fail, not because of big problems, but because of small purposes We usually have to charge Goliaths by ourselves Small successes lead to greater successes Success for most people comes after someone else has done the impossible A vision will help us pay the price.
It provides the motivation for us to give up good things now for better things later. A big vision will help you overcome any problem, but a small vision or no vision at all will cause the smallest of problems to trip you up and keep you from becoming what you should be. Vision always comes before victory. Commitment is contagious. People will only catch what has caught you. Fear of failure probably keeps more people from positive action than anything else.
That Dream! Maxwell State dreams Examine motives Consider options Utilize resources Remove nonessentials Embrace essentials The secret to handling conflicts successfully is to live according to the percent principle. Let that 1 percent shred of agreement be the tie that binds you together. Love people more than opinions. Anyone who loves his opinions more than he does his friends will defend his opinions and destroy his friends.
Give others the benefit of the doubt. The greater the man, the more flexible he is. I decided that leaders will always be hurt. If you are out front leading people, you will be hurt.
