If you aren’t happy with your harvest, try sowing some different seeds.

Your Greatest Day
|
The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up. ~John Maxwell
Problems
|
“Positive thinking is how you think about a problem. Enthusiasm is how you feel about a problem. The two together determine what you do about a problem.” ~Norman Vincent Peale Most people who’ve accomplished any type of success in life understand problems are a part of the success formula. The most successful people I know…
Victor or Victim
|
So true. Â I quit playing the “circumstance blame-game” many years ago. In all situations we have the opportunity to play the role of victor or victim. Which role do you play? Do you make things happen or do you watch things happen…and then complain about it? Do you find opportunity in the problem or do…

Faith Form
|
“A belief in God helps provide a foundation to arbitrate our decisions. Without this foundation, we are condemned to live essentially formless lives.”  ~Armstrong Williams Without this foundation (of faith) we are condemned to live essentially formless lives…Wow! When I’m living a life of faith, my perspective turns the spotlight off of me and onto…
