John C. Maxwell Quotes

Your life is a result of the choices you have made. If you don't like your life, start making better choices.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

I've always felt that life is a novel, and part of it is written for you, and part of it is written by you. It's up to you to write the ending, ultimately.

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.

We are all, right now, living the life we choose.

There are really only two ways to approach life - as victim or as gallant fighter - and you must decide if you want to act or react, deal your own cards or play with a stacked deck. And if you don't decide which way to play with life, it always plays with you.

If life was what you made of it, then it could not be made for you.

My life is a party thrown for me by my own decisions.

This is my life homie, you decide yours

The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.

If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.

You're not a kid any more. You have the right to choose your own life. You can start again. If you want a cat, all you have to do is choose a life in which you can have a cat. It's simple. It's your right.

I will not surrender responsibility for my life and my actions.

I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.

In the end, I want to be able to say, 'My life was what I made it.'

The biggest privilege I've had in my life is being able to make a choice. If you make a choice, it can't be a wrong choice because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Everybody eventually discovers that they are an individual with the power to affect their own lives and make it better or not.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

Only you can control your future.

Don't get yourself in certain circumstances or instances, because it's not a good feeling to be sitting in that chair where you've got 12 people that are in control of your life. You have an opportunity to be in control of your life for yourself by the decisions that you make.

You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.

You decide the things that ultimately you do. You have choices in this world, and that's how I live.

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
