A thought by John C. Maxwell & Rob Hoskins in their book, Change Your World (p. 126). HarperCollins Leadership. Kindle Edition. (Click on the book title to go to Amazon to buy the book.)

I'm sure you have found that true.

John continues, "And they make us more valuable to others. You can work with someone whose skills are weak if their values are good. You can train someone who is inexperienced as long as they value growth. You can trust someone who makes mistakes if the person is honest. But when good values are absent in someone, working with them becomes very difficult."

He later says, "There is no more important mission than giving others the chance to dream of a better life and equip them to live it. There is no better way to do that than to help them identify, Embrace, and live good values. The longer I live, the more I travel the world, the more I work to add value to people, the more I realize how important it is to help others understand the value of good values. I think I used to take values for granted. I grew up in a home with good values, with ethical, hardworking parents who loved me unconditionally and taught me the golden rule. But now I never take values for granted. It’s why I’ve dedicated myself to teaching them. So has Rob. We’ve found that when you live good values,

    Your mind will think things that will help you create positive change. 

    Your eyes will see things that will help you create positive change. 

    Your heart will feel things that will help you create positive change. 

    Your attitude will embrace things that will help you create positive change. 

    Your mouth will say things that will help you create positive change. 

    Your life will attract things that will help you create positive change. 

    Your feet will lead you to do things that will create positive change."

He then said, "If you haven’t had the benefit of being raised in a home with good values, like Rob and I were, know that we believe you can and will learn and embrace good values... As soon as you’re living and modeling good values, you’ll be able to help others to do the same. That, more than anything else, will bring the lasting change you want to see in your world."

And that is so true! Yes, yes! #continuethought
