* Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller
* Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 (NIV) * Helen Keller tells us we have to believe positively in what we are doing or we will not reach the goals we have before us. The Proverb tells us that if we do not reach our hopes we become sick; however, we are energized and full of life as hopes and goals are realized. We all face challenges and we all come up short at times. The successful effort, for each of us, comes in getting up and faithing again. I have to re-evaluate my hopes/goals at times and make different plans. I know the new plan may delay reaching the goal. But if I take a hint from the Proverb I will, at times, focus on mini-goals that lead to the end/ultimate goal. Why? because longings, hopes, and goals that are reached provide me and you with the energy, optimism, faith, hope, and confidence to get things done! Grace and Peace. Steve

* "Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth." Bradley Whitford What a great place for me to start this project! Our lives are to be filled with doing...doing what is good, doing what is full of Grace. Be it opening a door or creating a space in traffic we all have an opportunity to do something that is a good and right action today! Look for your opportunities today Don't Wait begin now....Go make a difference. Grace and Peace. Steve |
