INTENTIONAL LIVING BY JOHN C. MAXWELL

Key Concepts for a Life of Significance

• The Bridge from Success to Significance: Success is about me (my achievements, my wealth); significance is about others. You don't have to be rich or famous to start—you just have to start being intentional with the resources you already have.
• The Power of "Start Small, But Believe Big": You don't need a grand master plan to change the world. Maxwell teaches that significance starts with small, daily acts of kindness and value-adding that compound over time.
• Finding Your "Why": To live intentionally, you must identify your "sweet spot"—the intersection of your greatest passion and your greatest talent.
• The Law of Intentionality: Growth doesn't just happen. You don't get "better" by getting older; you get better by designing a system for your personal and spiritual development.
• The "Everyday" Mindset: Significance is a daily choice. Maxwell shares his own ritual: every morning he asks, "Who can I add value to today?" and every evening he asks, "Who did I add value to today?"
• Overcoming the "Permission" Gap: Most people wait for a title, a promotion, or a "sign" to start making a difference. Maxwell’s message is clear: You have permission to lead and serve right now, exactly where you are.
• The Compounding Effect of Consistency: One intentional act is a nice gesture; a thousand intentional acts is a movement. This book shows you how to stay consistent when the initial excitement fades.
