Productive quotes:
" I hope that I may always desire more than I am able to accomplish." - Michelangelo
" In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved." - Rupert Murdoch
" I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison
" Having a great attitude is not the result of having a great life; having a great life is the result of having a great attitude." - Myles Gentzkow
Productive people share six common characteristics:
1. Have a strong sense of purpose, passion, conviction, a sense of wanting to do something important to make a difference.
2. Are capable of developing and sustaining deep and trusting relationships. They seem to be constantly caring and authentic with other people.
3. Are purveyors of hope and have positive attitudes about reality.
4. Have a balance in their lives between work, power and family or outside activities.
5. Do not tie up all their self-esteem in their position.
6. Have a bias toward action and while not reckless, do not resist taking risk.
Productive people always plant seeds that take root for success. (Jeremiah 17: 7,8) Productive people eliminate weeds that eat up time and energy (negativity, worry, distraction, selfish ambition.) Productive people allow God's pruning to meet their needs. (John 15:1,2) Productive people reveal Christ-like character by deeds of kindness.
Work hard, pray harder. Look ahead not behind.
Productive people are not measured by what they possess; but by what they invest in others. Serve somebody. Build somebody up. GREAT THINGS MAY LAST A LIFETIME. PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE WILL LAST AN ETERNITY!

Little Faith Big God = Huge Results by Rick Warren [The boy's father said,] ". . . If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!" Jesus said, "If? There are no 'ifs' among believers. Anything can happen." No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, "Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!" (Mark 9:22-24, MSG) *** *** *** *** Is it possible to be filled with faith and doubt at the same time? Yes! You can have faith that God wants you to do something and still be scared to death. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is going ahead and doing what you're called to do in spite of your fear. You have to begin with the faith you already have: it may be just a little, but you start there. A beautiful example of this is the story of the man who brought his sick son to Jesus in Mark 9. Jesus looked at the man and said, "I can heal your son. If you will believe, I will heal him." The father then makes a classic statement: "Lord, I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief." Have you ever felt like that? "Lord, I have some faith. But I also have some doubts." This man was filled with faith and doubt, yet despite his honest doubts, he went ahead and asked Jesus for a miracle. And he got his miracle. Jesus healed his son. No matter how weak or how frail you think your faith is, it's enough. It's enough to get you through what you're facing, and it's enough to complete the vision God has planted in your heart. Matthew 17:20 says, "If you have faith as small as the mustard seed . . . nothing will be impossible to you." (NIV) That's not a lot of faith; in fact, it's just a little faith. But what else does that verse teach? "If you have faith as the mustard seed, you can say to the mountain, 'Move' and it will be moved." Mustard seed faith moves mountains. Don't get this reversed. We like to read this verse backward. We want it to say, "If you have faith like a mountain you can move a mustard seed", as if it takes enormous faith to do a very little task. God wants you to start with the faith you have, and based on the example of the mustard seed, you don't need a whole lot of faith to do great things for God. You just need a little. What does this mean? - Everybody has faith. You had faith this morning when you ate your cereal. Faith that your spouse didn't put poison in your granola! You had faith when you sat down in your computer chair. Faith that it wouldn't collapse.
- Everybody has faith; the difference is what you put your faith in. Sometimes people will say they don't want to go to church or make a commitment to Christ until they understand it all. Believe in this trustworthy equation: Little faith Big God = Huge results. You take your little faith, "Lord, I believe! Help me with my unbelief!" You put it in our big God, and then he'll show you how he works out huge results.
