Quote by Doug Horton

Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is not enough, seeing others follow your good examples is enough.

Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is no

Summary

This quote emphasizes that simply thinking positive thoughts or performing good actions are insufficient on their own. The true value lies in inspiring others to emulate these acts of kindness. Mere thoughts and deeds may only impact one's own life, but when others are inspired to follow the same path, the impact multiplies. It implies that the ultimate measure of goodness lies in positively influencing others to make a difference, thus creating a ripple effect of positive change in society.

The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effect

The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self -- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves recedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
