The Power of One Thing Quotes

“If we could see our lives from God's perspective, many of us would be forced to admit that our lives are cluttered with all sorts of things that keep us from moving forward and receiving the abundant life he promises. We need to simplify our lives, eliminating the things that bog us down and keep us from doing what God says are priorities.”

“Successful people are not afraid to ask themselves tough questions and then go deep to get the answers. Unsuccessful people avoid the tough questions, and if they come across one, either they won't answer it or they avoid it. Of course, it's not enough to pose good questions, which is why successful people are also good listeners. Most people tend to be so busy formulating their next statement that they hear very little of what is said to them.”

“Our use of time is a critical factor in whether we will be successful or unsuccessful in the important areas of life. Successful people keep the main thing the main thing.

“Though we are trained to answer questions, the questions we ask will determine our future. Your life today is the result of your answer to a question such as:

: Is God real?
:Is God going to provide for me?
:Can I trust people?
:Am I capable of doing that?

The types of questions you ask have made you the way you are.”
