John C. Maxwell Quotes

Each day is a day of decision, and our decisions determine our destiny.

The small day-to-day decisions will determine the course of your lives.

You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.

We all have to make choices in life.

The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.

Nine times out of 10, extenuating circumstances aside, I believe that people are where they are by some kind of choice on their part. You need to acknowledge that, 'Hey, I'm here because I steered my horse in this direction.'

We have a choice every day to do whatever we do, and that choice is quite scary because it could absolutely change everything about our lives. It's important to keep reminding myself that I have a choice.

Everything changes when you make a decision to be one of the courageous ones, someone who chooses to make a life, rather than a living.

The time has come to get clear about who you are and what you choose. There must come moments in every person's life when a decision is necessary. A big decision. A major choice. Such a time is now. What you get to choose today is who you are and who you choose to be, and what you wish to experience in your life. Remember, not to decide is to decide.

Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.

Unless a decision has degenerated into work, it is not a decision; it is at best a good intention.

Everybody grows up and they have to make decisions, and they try and make the best decisions that they know how to. It's taken them their whole lives to finally step out and start making their own decisions.

Decisions are the endless uncertainties of life that we'll not know if they're right until the very end, so do the best you can and hope its right.

It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. . . Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions.

There are some decisions in life that only you can make.

Our destiny and ultimate fate depend upon our daily decisions. . . .Tomorrow's joy or tomorrow's despair has its roots in decisions we make today. . . .

One thing about me, when I make a decision about something, I realize when you make choices in life, that dictates your life.

It's always the little decisions that have the biggest impact.

If everybody trusts one another, then the person who didn't prevail will faithfully execute the decision as if it was their idea.

We cannot lead a choiceless life. Every day, every moment, every second, there is a choice. If it were not so, we would not be individuals.
