The maximizer looks for ways to serve the common good, to not only accomplish his own work, but also to help others on his team accomplish theirs.
A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop. —Rupert Hughes
Learning Equals Progress
Growing is what life is all about. God provides you with the opportunities for growth, learning, and renewal that your spirit needs; you just need to reach for these things, accept them, and flow with them.
The Wise Way
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the World the best you’ve got anyway.
A Passion for Excellence
Excellence is optimistic. It’s believing that something can be done, that it’s worth fighting for, worth trusting others to play a part. And there is a benefit.—Optimism is good for your overall physical, emotional and physiological wellbeing.
The Perseverance Path
God is teaching you by His great picture book of nature to wait, to sow your seed, and wait for the slow ripening of the harvest under the patient heavens. He does not give you perfect and full-formed things at once. He sows the seeds of things that will gradually grow and ripen and bear fruit. He gives buds first, and then full unfolded blossoms, and then perfect fruit. —Hugh Macmillan (c.1850), adapted
