“What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.”  ~Antoine de-Saint Exupery. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to mentor many people over the years and I always encourage them to “just do something” because I have found one’s direction…

Get a Wind by Making a Plan*
“To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.” ~Seneca …nuff said. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Habakkuk 2:2, “And the Lord answered me: ‘Write the vision; make it plain on tablet, so he may run who reads it.”
Vision to Reality is Simple*
Louis Nizer once said, “A man’s life is colored by the dye of his imagination.” Being somewhat of a visionary myself I understand there is a delicate balance between vision, which is intended to take us beyond what we know, and reality which is what we know. The key to any successful vision is execution. …
Solutions, Problems and Me*
If I’m not the problem, there is no solution. I first heard the above phrase about 26 years ago when I was sitting in a 12-Step meeting trying to figure out how to not drink or drug one day at a time. It is the underlying meaning of The Serenity Prayer. “God grant me the…
Courage*

Choose Laughter
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.” ~Jean Houston This afternoon is my friend Amy’s funeral. A little over three weeks ago I had my final visit with Amy. Although she was in noticeable pain we sat and told stories and had some great laughs as we…
What are you believing?
“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it – even if I have said it – unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” ~Buddha Nice work from Buddha but I would tweak the quote to say; “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who…
Who’s Living Up To Who?*
“I am not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.” ~Fritz Perls Fritz, I believe you’ve just shared a couple of keys in experiencing true serenity. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Matthew 6:33-34, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all…
