1 In life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with your problems. -John C. Maxwell
There will always be problems in life. No matter how much you wish otherwise, you will always have to face obstacles. Life isn’t about trying to avoid these problems but instead, trying to deal with them and overcome them. These problems teach you important life lessons and help make you a stronger person.
2 The essence of man is imperfection, Know that you’re going to make mistakes. -John C. Maxwell
Perfection is unreal. Being human means being imperfect. There isn’t a single person who has not or will not make any mistakes. Instead of letting those mistakes discourage you further, learn from them and try to be better.
3 Wake up and realize this: Failure is simply a price we pay to achieve success. -John C. Maxwell
Success is always preceded by failure. Look up any success story and there is almost always a clandestine story of failures and defeats. Failure is simply the first step to success.
4 To conquer fear, you have to feel the fear and take action anyway, Forget motivation, Just do it. -John C. Maxwell
If you keep waiting for motivation to come to you, you will be left waiting forever. Conquer your fear of failure and just do what you have to do. Embrace that fear and take action without worrying about anything else.
5 Life is playing a poor hand well. -John C. Maxwell
You won’t always have everything you need in life. Life is all about making the most of what you have. No matter what hand you are dealt with, play it well and make your way to success.
6 The greatest battle you wage against failure occurs on the inside, not the outside. -John C. Maxwell
To succeed in life, you first will have to conquer your inner fear of failure. Win the battle raging within yourself. No matter how many times you fail, do not let that discourage you. The first thing that you need to do is to conquer your fear of failure.
7 Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? -John C. Maxwell
Do not try to control the things that are beyond you. Instead, focus on the things that depend on you. Just do what you have to do to the best of your abilities. Everything else will fall into place on its own.
8 Handicaps can only disable us if we let them. -John C. Maxwell
You do not have to be perfect in everything. Your weaknesses will only hold you back if you let them hold you back. Turn your weaknesses into your strengths. Your fears will only harm you if you let them.
9 Be more concerned with what you can give rather than what you can get because giving truly is the highest level of living. -John C. Maxwell
Life isn’t really about what you get but about what you can give. Think of the things that you can give others because that is the true essence of living. Live selflessly and show kindness whenever you can.
10 If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward. -John C. Maxwell
Every fall is a testament that you are moving forward in life. Every failure is proof that you are learning something new in life. So do not shy away from failures. Without failure, there is no success.
11 The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure. -John C. Maxwell,
It’s not that successful people do not fail. The difference lies in how they deal with their failures. Success comes only if, despite all your failures, you do not give up. The truly great do not run away from any obstacles. They fall and they get back up every time.
12 Little progress is better than no progress at all, Success comes in taking many small steps. -John C. Maxwell
You do not have to take big steps in life. The little steps that you take are more than enough as it means you’re moving forward. Even the tiny progress that you make is better than staying stagnant and making no progress at all.
13 Failure isn’t so bad if it doesn’t attack the heart, Success is all right if it doesn’t go to the head. -John C. Maxwell
Failure only harms you if you let it get to your heart and affect you deeply. While success harms you if you let it get to your head. Do not let your failures define you. They are only lessons for you. And your successes are just checkpoints for you to go on further.
14 Your attitude, more than your aptitude, will determine your altitude. -John C. Maxwell
Your attitude is the determining factor in all your endeavors. It determines how far and how high you will go. The attitude with which you face obstacles will dictate your results. Even if you have the necessary skills and talents, you will not go far enough if you lack the attitude.
15 Risk must be evaluated not by the fear it generates in you or the probability of your success, but by the value of the goal. -John C. Maxwell
The risks that you undertake should be evaluated by how much you can gain from it. Set aside your fears and see things with a clear and rational mind. Your chances of success do not matter if the value of your goal is alluring enough.
