John C. Maxwell Quotes About Past

Quotes about: Past

• If you lack initiative, recognize that the problem comes from the inside, not from others. Determine why you hesitate to take action. Does risk scare you? Are you discouraged by past failures? Do you not see the potential that opportunity offers? Find the source of your hesitation, and address it. You won't be able to move forward on the outside until you can move forward on the inside.

We need to be highly attentive to spot them. And we must be focused on our present capabilities, not past regrets.
