Be All You Can Be

I'm currently reading the book titled, Be All You Can Be, by John C. Maxwell.  I would like to share some insights I've gained so far (through chapter 3 out of 13)...can't wait to continue the book.
  • Joy is the by-product of doing what's right.
  • To be all I can be, I need to help others be all they can be!
  • Don't be a dreamer, but a person with a dream.
Regarding Success:
  • Worldly Success - the power to acquire whatever one demands of life without violating the rights of others (Self Demands of Life).
  • Christian Success - enter into area of action, give yourself to the cause which will better mankind and last for eternity (Life Demands of Self).  Contribute to the betterment of others.
Be all you can be.  "The only person who can stop you from becoming what God intends you to become is you!", John C. Maxwell.

Final note:  Surrender everything to Jesus Christ.  Surrendering doesn't show weakness, it brings power.
Give God first:
  • First part of the day
  • First part of the week
  • First portion of your income
  • First part consideration in every decision
  • First place in all  your life
God bless,
Hollie
