Victor or Victim
|
So true. Â I quit playing the “circumstance blame-game” many years ago. In all situations we have the opportunity to play the role of victor or victim. Which role do you play?

Victory over Blame
|
“A man may make mistakes, but he doesn’t become a failure until he blames someone else.” ~John Wooden There are victims and there are victors.

Purpose & Life Happens

Character
|
Character is the ability to handle the demands of reality without cheating or taking short cuts. It is staying true to your principles when the world tells you principles are “things of the past.” Character is formed when we are doing what we know we need to do when we don’t want to do…

 Take that one to the bank. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com James 5:9, “Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.” (ESV)
Success and Action
|
 There is nothing I can add to this other than the fact that success is usually found in giving something one more try. Do you give up too easily or do you continue to fight and move forward? P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (ESV)
