You rush from one extreme to another.  The only true way to live in this world, constituted just as we are, is to make all our employments subserve the one great end and aim of existence, namely, to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.  But in order to do this we must be wise taskmasters and not require of ourselves what we cannot possibly perform.  Recreation we must have.  Otherwise, the strings of our soul, wound up to an unnatural tension, will break.

If you have a positive attitude and constantly
strive to give your best effort, eventually
you will overcome your immediate problems
and find you are ready for greater challenges.

Pat Riley

Life Quote of the Day - Thursday, November 17, 2011

A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste.  The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year’s course.  Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word “happiness” would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.  It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Carl Gustav Jung

Confidence on the outside begins by living with integrity on the inside.

  Brian Tracy

Regardless of our background, skills, experience, or attitude, we can't be successful until we feel confident about who we are and what we're doing.    In fact, feeling confident FIRST will allow us to experience success and the achievement of our goals. And we could only be confident when we are happy and at peace inside, when we know we are doing the right things.

Today, as never before, prayer is a binding necessity in the lives of men and nations.  The lack of emphasis on the religious sense has brought the world to the edge of destruction.  Our deepest source of power and perfection has been left miserably undeveloped.  Prayer, the basic exercise of the spirit, must be actively practiced in our private lives.  The neglected souls of people must be made strong enough to assert themselves once more.  For if the power of prayer is again released and used in the lives of common men and women; if the spirit declares its aims clearly and boldly, there is yet hope that our prayers for a better world will be answered.

Alexis Carrel (1941)

 

Prayer is the best weapon we could ever use against any negative power here on earth. It is also the best weapon to be used to melt the hearts of men. If we are to achieve peace on earth, there should be a great need for all of us to use the power of prayer. We could start this within ourselves. We could start now.

"We first make our habits, and then our habits make us." 

John Dryden

If we are to achieve our dreams, we first have to make a habit of making small steps in achieving it, until finally we are able to achieve these dreams through our habits. Then our habits become dreams achieved.
