John Maxwell – Quote of the Day for January 27, 2026

Today's Quote of the Day from John Maxwell - January 26th 2026

Insight on Today's Quote

It’s easy to chase “big moves” because they feel impressive. But most progress is built in the quiet… when you show up even if you’re tired, distracted, or not in the mood. Small disciplines are like deposits. They don’t look like much today… but they compound. The consistency you practice now is future-you’s breakthrough.

Step Up To The Challenge

Pick one small discipline and do it for 20 minutes today… no excuses, no negotiating.

Choose one:

  1. Health: 20-min brisk walk or home workout

  2. Money: review expenses + move a small amount to savings

  3. Work/Career: finish one overdue task or send 3 follow-ups

  4. Mind: read 10 pages or journal 1 page

  5. Faith/Character: pray + read 1 chapter, then write 1 takeaway

Bonus (power move): set a timer and do it before scrolling social media.
