The Daily Dozen


John C. Maxwell is one of the greatest writers/motivators in our day. We encourage all to take a look at his books, he has written a handful of helpful guides on encouraging success and reaching ones full potential. His website is here John Maxwell.



One of our favorites is Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrows Success.



In it, he gives us 12 daily practices to guide us in the right direction of achieving success. Here is The Daily Dozen:


  1. Attitude: Choose and display the right attitude daily.
  2. Priorities: Determine and act on important priorities daily.
  3. Health: Know and follow healthy guidelines daily.
  4. Family: Communicate with and care for family daily.
  5. Thinking: Practice and develop thinking skills daily.
  6. Commitment: Make and keep proper commitments daily.
  7. Finances: Earn and properly manage finances daily.
  8. Faith: Deepen and live out faith daily.
  9. Relationships: Initiate and invest in solid relationships daily.
  10. Generosity: Plan for and model generosity daily.
  11. Values: Embrace and practice good values daily.
  12. Growth: Desire and experience improvements daily.

Doing all 12 of these on a daily basis can be overwhelming at first. We suggest you pick 3-4 practices that you find to be the most difficult for you to do. Once you have mastered those, pick another 3-4 and so on until you naturally are integrating all 12 into your daily regime. Can you imagine how much more motivated and driven you would be if you did all 12 of these on a daily basis? We encourage all to start now. Remember, if you don't start today, you'll never start tomorrow!
