Are You Anyone?

Posted August 23, 2015 - Balance, Courage, Encouragement

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is what life really means.

  This quote by Stevenson is all about living in the moment. Tall order but really simple to do if you die to self first thing in the morning and allow God to live through you a day at a time.  And some days you may need to stop and start over. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Galatians 5:22,…

Get the inside right. The outside will fall into place.

— Eckhart Tolle —

Right

Posted July 14, 2015 - Balance, Beliefs, Maturity, Motives

Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.

— Mark Twain —

  If you struggle with “right” you may want to take a look at what is driving you. Is there a power greater than you helping you with right, or do you allow the world to help you determine what is right? P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Galatians 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for…

Good Hours

Posted July 10, 2015 - Balance, Dream, Maturity

To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson —

  This quote reminds me of the commercial for Direct T.V. that was airing a couple of years ago about the man who attended a motivational conference and left feeling good about himself and because he felt good about himself he went to Vegas in hopes of feeling better and while in Vegas he lost…

Balance and Boundaries

Chase or Attract

Posted April 22, 2015 - Balance

Work hard, but give time to your love, family and friends. Because nobody will remember presentations, meetings, degrees and overtime on our death.

— Unknown —

  When I saw this quote I was reminded of two types of people. There are chasers and there are attractors. Have you noticed them? Which one are you? The chasers are always in pursuit of “something.”  The attractors usually have others in pursuit of them. Chasers are usually uncomfortable in their own skin thus…
