Proverbs 17:27-28, “A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.” (NLT) It would be foolish for me to add anything else… P.E.A.C.E. jay@eaglelaunch.com
Proverbs 16…motives
Proverbs 16:2, “People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives.” Something I learned early in recovery was whenever I was faced with a difficult situation, I was told to step back, and examine my motives by asking myself, “why am I doing this, and is any good going to come from…
Just a thought…
John 1:1-3, “In the beginning the Word already existed. the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He (Jesus) existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him.” (NLT) I remember the first time I ever stayed at a Hampton Inn several years ago. Back…
Proverbs 15…wanting to improve=replacing our wants with our needs…
Proverbs 15:31; “If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise.” (NLT) Back in my college days I wasn’t the best student in the world but I got pretty good grades. Getting me to sit still for an hour was not an easy task and then expecting me to do…
Proverbs 14…some thoughts from my simple mind
Proverbs 14:3, “A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him, but the words of the wise keep them safe.”…if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all. Proverbs 14:7, “Stay away from fools for you won’t find knowledge on their lips.”…if you want to be a winner, run with…
Proverbs 13…get rich slow AND steady wins the race
If there is one thing I’ve learned in life is the fact there are no free lunches. In the 13th Proverb Solomon clearly states what it takes in order to grow wealth and it is a 4 letter word many people do not want to hear…W-O-R-K. Although work is the key to growing wealth it…
Proverbs 12…P.E.A.C.E
The 12th Proverb touches on several aspects of effective living. It was easy to pull a verse and match it with each of the letters of my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic. As I’ve touched on several times in the past; successful people have a Plan, put forth consistent Effort to execute the plan, have an Attitude that believes…
Proverbs 11…the gift of giving
One of my favorite recovery sayings is, “you can’t keep what you have unless you give it away.” One of the best ways to stay sober is to help others get and stay sober.  It is so amazing how we grow thru the giving of our time, treasures and talents. God wired us to give.  Let’s face it, have…
Proverbs 10…words
A worthwhile exercise I always suggest for my coaching clients is to develop a vision statement for their life. The vision serves to keep you on course and helps ensure time is not being wasted on “nonvision” activities. Having a vision statement allows you to step back from whatever you are doing and ask yourself,…
Proverbs 9…wisdom=knowledge in action
Proverbs 9:11, “Wisdom will multiply your days and years to your life. If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.” (NLT) …nuff said. There are lots of knowledgeable Christians but not all turn their knowledge into wisdom. Knowledge is knowing what…
