Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

 Next Sunday I will be doing another 1/2 Ironman Triathlon which consist of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run…I’m not boasting but seeking your prayer support as this distance usually means I am working the “old” heart for 6 solid hours and also missing lunch. 🙂 I’ve…
Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is what life really means.
— Robert Louis Stevenson —
This quote by Stevenson is all about living in the moment. Tall order but really simple to do if you die to self first thing in the morning and allow God to live through you a day at a time. And some days you may need to stop and start over. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Galatians 5:22,…
Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.
— Henry David Thoreau —
 How are your thoughts about yourself these days? In other words what is your fate looking like? If you are not pleased with the opinion you have of yourself then you will need to change the way you think. The best way to change your thinking as well as your fate is to change…
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.

 …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.”
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.
— Andrew Carnegie —
 I love this quote by Andrew Carnegie. Visualizing a dream and creating a plan for execution through goal setting does indeed command your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes…I write from experience. No matter where you are in life or what the Good Lord has given you to handle, set goals in…
A philosophy of life: I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure.
— Paulo Coelho —
 What a great philosophy! The way I look at life; you find what you are looking for. Look for treasure and you will find treasure. Look for trash and you will find trash. And most importantly…look for God and you will find Him. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Matthew 6:33, “But seek first his kinddom and his…
No one is a firmer believer in the power of prayer than the devil; not that he practices it, but he suffers from it.
— Guy H. King —
“The reason why we obtain no more in prayer is because we expect no more. God usually answers us according to our own hearts.” ~Richard Alleine “Seven days without prayer makes one weak.” ~Allen Vartlett “It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.” ~Billy Graham “We can be…
Reflection is looking in so you can look out with a broader, bigger, and more accurate perspective.
— Mick Ukleja and Robert Lorber —
 Taking time to reflect and pray has been a key part of my every day life. If we don’t take time to reflect, pray, and get in touch with our spirit and our creator, we all become robots and allow life to live us instead of living life with a higher purpose…I write from…
If you found yourself saying, “Wow, that is so true,” to the quote above, here is another point to ponder: Why wait until the end to allow God to begin? Why wait for life to get so challenging and so bad before you reach out to God for help? Of course He is always there for…
 What are you aiming at today? Write it down. How difficult was that? Imagine taking time once a week on Sunday to create your “aim” for the week. You will be amazed how all of a sudden a “wind” will appear out of nowhere and fill your sails and take you in the direction of…
