Complaining about a problem without posing a solution is called whining.

 Truth. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Here is a solution for you: John 16:33, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (ESV)

 Good, better, best, never let it rest; until your good is better and your better is your best… Make the most of yourself by continuously giving your best effort to become better today than you were yesterday.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson —
 2016 is the year of “Making the Most of Ourselves.” Emerson’s quote is so powerful. It is impossible to make the most of ourselves if we always have our defenses up and are unwilling to handle critique and criticism. When someone contradicts you or doesn’t agree with you, you have a choice of playing…
Sometimes it only takes one good song to bring back thousands of good old memories… On January 1st I did my plan for 2016. I’ve been planning out my years for as long as I can remember and my theme for this year’s plan is “Reach and Simplify.” One of my first goals for simplifying…
If you hear a voice within you say, “you cannot paint,†then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

 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…
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

 This sounds like a great New Year’s resolution to me. How about you? What are you most passionate about? What are your priorities and responsibilities? What are your strengths? What purpose was God’s intent for your life? Knowing the answers to those four questions and seeing if and how they fit into your every…
One problem with gazing too frequently at the past is that we might turn around and find the future has run out on us.
— Michael Cibenko —
 As we are about to start a new year it is important to move into 2016 without any extra baggage and there is no greater baggage than a past that has never been dealt with. The past should be used only for helping us make a brighter future regardless of how ugly it may…
We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you aren’t.

 Our thoughts are so powerful. If we paid as much attention to them and their origin as we do all the worthless things we waste our time thinking about (maybe I’m the only one who does that), this world would be a better place. Romans 12:2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world,…
