Quote by John C. Maxwell
“In the last chapter we looked at self-talk and the importance of conversing with our internal voice. And often you can use solitude to do just that. But there’s also something helpful about shutting up and listening. As you begin, you might find that you need something to guide your thoughts. If so, I routinely go back to these two prayer-like formats. 1. Heavenly Father, what do you want for me today? I want . . . I need . . . 2. I surrender . . .”
