Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson —
 This sounds like a great New Year’s resolution to me. How about you? What are you most passionate about? What are your priorities and responsibilities? What are your strengths? What purpose was God’s intent for your life? Knowing the answers to those four questions and seeing if and how they fit into your every…
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
— Erich Fromm —
 If you aren’t very creative take a look at how controlling and perfectionistic you are. The Good Lord gave all of us the ability to create…we were born in His image…the ultimate creator. Let go and create. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Ephesians 2:10, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared…

Bring the past only if you are going to build from it.

The older I get the more I am amazed at how many people get stuck in a rut due to something that happened to them years ago and the rut conveniently turns into a grave with a life that stopped living because of the past. Nuff Said. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Isaiah 43:18, “Remember not the…
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life then death.
— James F. Byrnes —
…chew on that one Is the desire for security paralyzing the part of your brain that sees opportunity? Personally I’ve never gotten hung up on being “secure” as I know how fragile life is through my own personal experiences. Some people talk about having a bucket list. Well I challenge you to not wait…
I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.
— Theodore Roosevelt —
I can remember a friend years ago telling me he needed to learn how to be average. I asked him why and he said he was a perfectionist and his drive for perfectionism was literally driving him nuts. I’m not certain where you are on a scale of Bad-Average-Good-Great, but I am always striving…
I don't pray for God to take my problems away, I pray only for God to give me the strength to go through them.

Yesterday I achieved a goal I set for myself a couple of years ago. I completed a ½ Ironman Triathlon distance race twice in one month…so I could say I did a full Ironman (2.4mi swim, 112mi bike, 26.2mi run) in one month. This particular goal took me three years longer than I wanted because…
