Mike Bechtle Quotes

The Power of Influence I’ve realized that I choose not to spend much time with people who are trying to change me. If they take me on as a project to “fix,” I don’t respond well. But when they simply enter my life and accept me unconditionally, I become a different person because of their influence.

With expectation, we’re waiting for something specific that we want to happen, and we’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t. With expectancy, we release our own agenda in a person’s life, allowing changes to happen that we can’t control.

It means that we work on our side of the relationship, no matter what happens on the other side. We don’t change them; we change ourselves.

Drama-free” doesn’t mean getting rid of the drama or the people who create it. It means being free from its debilitating effects in our lives. This book is about getting free – not letting our lives and attitudes be controlled by the choices of others.

We won’t be able to eliminate the drama in our lives or escape all the crazies. But we can actually learn to live responsively instead of reactively, being positive when others are negative.

I might believe some powerful truths, but if those beliefs are only in my head and don’t impact the way I live, nothing about my life will draw others to faith.
