Paint

If you hear a voice within you say, “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

— Vincent Van Gogh —

  I love this quote by Van Gogh.  Think about something your “voice” is telling you, you can’t do.  My God exists in the world of CAN’S.  The devil exists in the world of CANT’S. Who or what are you listening to these days? 2016 is the year of “Making the Most of Ourselves” and that…

Joy and Company

To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.

— Mark Twain —

  On the flip side of that coin, misery loves company. Who are hanging out with these days? Do they bring you joy or misery? With all of that being said, there is only one thing worse than two miserable people commiserating and that is a one person commiserating with the committee in his or…

Christmas Beauty

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Optimist

Optimist: someone who isn't sure whether life is a tragedy or a comedy but is tickled silly just to be in the play.

— Robert Brault —

  Amen. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Psalm 103:2, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”  (ESV)

Past Building

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

— Domenico Cieri Estrada —

  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…

Abundant Attitude

There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes.

— William J. Bennett —

So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health.

Jay@EagleLaunch.com 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?  You are not your own, for you were…

Great ain’t Average

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…

Anchor

Faith in God is the anchor that keeps the soul at peace.

— Unknown —

  Are you at peace today? If not, check and see what you have your life anchored to. Whatever you are focused on is most likely your anchor.  How stable is it? P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com John 14:27, “I am leaving you with a gift–peace of mind and heart.  And the peace I give is a gift…
