Thought For The Day

Someday, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet weeks. Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process.
- Phillips Brooks

New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.

Thought For The Day

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances -- it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thought For The Day

Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.

To Celebrate The Festival Of Light

 

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures. 

~James Thurber

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space.  It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe.  It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished. 

~Michael Strassfeld

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

Experiencing failure is inevitable on the highway to success.
Every defeat is merely an installment to victory.

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better
than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

You won't be judged by the number of times you fail,
but by the number of times you succeed.
And the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion
to the number of times you fail and keep trying.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step
to something better.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Thought For The Day

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.

PROGRESS BEGINS ONE STEP AT A TIME

There is no sudden leap to greatness.
Your success lies in doing, day by day.
Your upward reach comes from working well and carefully.

Good work done little by little becomes great work.
The house of success will be built brick by brick.

Adopt the pace of nature.
A bottle fills drop by drop.
The secret is patience.

The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Thought For The Day

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

Thought For The Day

Frequently I have said and say, " It Is What It Is"

Today while in a discussion with a client I learned a different twist, I intend to make my own.

In these times he has developed a mantra and no longer says, "It is what it is," he says  "IT IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT."

I liked it so much that it is today's TFTD.

" It is not what it is, It is what you make it."
