Here are a few simple but stirring things that I’ve been thinking about, wrestling with and clinging to since the beginning of 2009 (I’ll add more as they come)….
“You’re only as healthy as your secrets.”
“God is more concerned about WHO you are than WHAT you do.”
“More than seeking God’s hands…we must first and foremost, seek His face.”
“The are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting one wants and the other is getting it.” (Oscar Wilde)
“The life which is unexamined is not worth living.” (Plato)
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.”
“The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.” (Chinese Proverb)
“Be not afraid to go slowly; Be only afraid of standing still.” (Japanese Proverb)
“Great leaders create great problems. If you’re not willing to create problems; you’re not willing to lead. Leaders create problems by changing expectations.” (Erwin McManus)
“The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” (William James – 19th century philosopher)
“Jesus would rather go to hell for you, than go to heaven without you.” (Max Lucado)
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17)
(Please add your own lessons, axioms, quotes, verses and convictions in the comments.)
