inspirational change happiness
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
morning attitude pursuit-of-happiness
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.
motivational happiness attitude
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
meaningful satisfaction-in-life finding-happiness
In spite of the extent to which Solomon went to find happiness, because he left God out of the picture, nothing satisfied. It never will. Satisfaction in life will never occur until there is a meaningful connection with the living Lord above the sun.
happiness laughter grateful
Of all the things God created, I am often most grateful He created laughter.
attitude believe mean
While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.
christian religion sacred
I don't see life divided into public and private, secular and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God.
love risk tolls
If we want the advantages of love, then we must be willing to take the risks of love. And that requires vulnerability. Of course, we can refuse this path and trod another one devoid of openness. But the toll on such a road is extremely high.
confidence attitude choices
Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!
confidence jobs needs
There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
positive giving-up light
I'm glad . . . that Edison didn't give up on the light bulb. That Luther refused to back down. That Michelangelo kept painting. That Lindbergh kept flying.
faith body way
The crisis of physical hunger is essentially a crisis of faith. What or whom will you trust to meet your most basic needs? Will you trust the God who made human bodies, or will you seek your own way? (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)
fear worry people
Life...as God intended it enables us to live above the drag of fear, superstition, shame, pessimism, guilt, anxiety, worry, and all the negativity that keeps people from seizing each day as a gift from Him.
