As you start your day, are you wondering what you will reap, or are you wondering what you will sow?

John C. Maxwell
About This Quote

There are so many things that you do every day, but you have no idea whether they will have positive or negative consequences. Some of the things you do every day are meant to be beneficial to your life, some are designed to harm you. You don’t know which until it is too late. That’s why it is important to start your day thinking about what you are going to reap, not what you are going to sow. Ask yourself, “What will this day bring for me? What will this day bring for my family? What will this day bring for my community? What will this day bring for my world?”
