Bad or Good?*
“Bad men excuse their faults; good men abandon them.” ~Unknown I love this quote! This is why it is so important to do an ongoing inventory of our life and be honest with ourselves and when we see a character defect we name it, claim it and dump it. …that my friends is how you…
No Excuse to Success*
“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse.” ~Florence Nightingale Amen Flo! Excuses are like our hind ends; they all stink! P.E.A.C.E. Proverbs 24:30-34, “I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground…

Excuse Tools*
“Excuses are the tools with which persons with no purpose in view, build for themselves great monuments of nothing.” ~Steven Grayhm I would replace the word “monuments” with “lives” in the above quote.

Wealth*

Face it…*
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” ~James Baldwin And thinking about what you need to face is not facing it. Facing it is speaking it to God and another human being. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Romans 8:28, “And we know that for those who love God…
Live*
“Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.” ~Nicolas de Chamfort mmmHmmm. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Psalm 27:1, “Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (ESV)
Is it Motion or Action?*
“Never mistake motion for action.” ~Ernest Hemingway Hmm…one of my blog followers must need a little “boost” as this is the third day in a row I’ve touch on action. Years ago I remember reading a Tom Hopkins book where he challenged his readers to get up every morning and say to themselves; “Today I…
