Aspirations and Habits

Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.

Roller Skates and Focus

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.

People who consistently win have a clear and thoughtful strategy. They know what they need to do and when they need to do it. They write it down so they stay on course, and avoid any alternative that does not get them closer to the finish line.

— Dr. Phil —

  Dr. Phil did a good job of summarizing what I’ve been writing about the past couple of weeks.  The most important part of his quote above is when he says, “they write it down so they stay on course.” What do you have written down? Write it down, commit it to the Lord and…

No Short Cuts

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.

— Beverly Sills —

  TRUTH! The best way to get to it, is to go through it. Matthew 7:13, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.” P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com

Focus Abundantly

Stop worrying about what you have to lose and start focusing on what you have to gain.

— Unknown —

  If I’ve noted it once I’ve noted it a couple of dozen times in my blogs that the devil lives in scarcity and loves to get us to think in terms of scarcity. Our Creator lives in abundance and if we tap into Him and turn our back on the devil, we will witness…
