No Excuses

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse.

— Florence Nightingale —

  Amen…if I’m not the problem, there is no solution. I used to be an excuse machine until I was introduced to the Serenity Prayer.  Today, whenever the committee in my head slams the gavel and calls an “excuse meeting” to order, I start praying the Serenity Prayer.

Defeat Can Be Good

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

— Michel de Montaigne —

  I can relate…and I’ve been dying to self every morning since my crash, burn and rise from the ashes many years ago. My ego and God CANNOT co-exist. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”

Giant Humility

Humility is the mother of giants. One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.

— G.K. Chesterton —

Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right.

— William Temple —

  Hmm, ponder and reflect on this one…it’s a good one. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com James 4:6, “But he gives more grace.  Therefore it says, ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’”

Humility

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

— Unknown —

  Today I know the more comfortable I am in my own skin the less I need for the world to know about my accomplishments. I also know there is a direct correlation between me being comfortable in my own skin and how closely I am walking with the Lord because my first goal each day should…
