Andy Andrews quotes about
You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.
Until a person takes responsibility for where he is, there is no basis for moving on. The bad news is that the past was in your hands, but the good news is that the future, my friend, is also in your hands.
The words It's not my fault! should never again come from your mouth. The words It's not my fault! have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Eve took her first bite of the apple.
We are all in situations of our own choosing. Our thinking creates a pathway to success or failure. By disclaiming responsibility for our present, we crush the prospect of an incredible future that might have been ours.
I am not a "Christian author." I am an author who is a Christian. While my books reflect my faith, they are not intended as teaching tools for a Christian audience per se. My books are stories created around principles that work for everyone and they work every time.
I always encourage authors (especially new authors) to be as generous as we are blessed. For one thing, it is a way to help people. For another, it is a seed one is planting for the life of the book. Someone gave it to someone who gave it to someone else.
There are so many common occurrences in raising children that people just can't seem to figure out.
People who other people value get job offers, they get opportunities, and they get encouragement all because they are valued.
It's a lot more interesting to learn and discover real-life principles when they are revealed in the form of a story.
It's also a lot easier to convince people to read an entertaining story than any other type of book!
I started finding humor in everything. I used to watch a lot of TV, and I finally figured I didn't need to watch TV to find funny stuff. I just watch the commercials. I mean, the commercials just blew my mind.
When you put emphasis on compromise rather than on principle, you end up with 2/3 of the principles being implemented.
We think in our society today that the way people change is that they have to have a deep desire to change or that the way they change is they have to hit rock bottom. But neither of those things is true.
We have to prepare our teenagers and our children for a world away from us. That requires explanations. That requires understanding.
