Pearls
"Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise."
Proverbs 17:22
I remember reading the verse above and having a little epiphany, which I seemed to need as a young Christian who carried relative prejudice toward anything without a bible reference attached! But this was the next best thing... scripture saying, It is o.k to take advise from other sources!
After several weeks of pondering, I decided to generally omit author accreditation (believing that - ultimately - true wisdom comes from God!). Pearls, as in, "Pearls of wisdom"...
> Little things are big things, because life is made up of little things!
> We are built to conquer environment, solve problems and achieve goals; and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to overcome or objectives to reach.
> Inch by inch, it's a cinch!
> In every negative is the seed of a greater positive.
> In order to win... you have to be prepared to lose!
> Wisdom is to learn from your experience; Divine wisdom is to learn from the experience of others!
> Act as if everything is great...and soon it will be!
> Commit to achieving your goal and the way will be provided.
> You are creating your future now.
> ...Opportunity always looks better going than coming!
> Every moment a new future begins.
> It is the constant and determined effort that breaks down all barriers and sweeps away all obstacles.
> God is one hundred percent evenly present in all places at the same time.
> When you believe that something can be done, you will find the way to do it.
> In order to grow you must be willing to release the past. History need not be your destiny.
> If we are not responsible for the thoughts that enter our mind, then we are at least responsible for those we choose to entertain.
> Champions are not made in the gym, but from something inside - a desire, a dream, a vision. Muhammad Ali
> Even though you may not know how to achieve a goal, set it anyway. You will be surprised at how you will be inspired, and you will take action that you may not have otherwise.
> Decisions ultimately say Who You Are. When we understand this everything changes. All events, occurrences and situations become opportunities to do what you are here for.
> It does not matter what side of the fence you get off on; what matters is that you get off the fence. There can be no progress without decision.
> Do not wait; the time will never be “just right.” Start where you are and work with whatever tools you have; better tools will be found as you go along.
> The main reason that people fail is in giving up. Thomas Edison
> An important lesson I learned is the difference between taking one's work and one's self seriously. The first is imperative, the second, disastrous.
> Appreciation works wonders. Who and what you appreciate, appreciates.
> No one attains eminent success by doing only what is required of him; but it that which is over and above that creates true distinction.
> Do not let the time it will take to do something prevent you from doing it; the time will pass anyway!
> In order to succeed one must appreciate the might and force of habit; understanding that practice is what creates it. He must be quick to break bad habits and hasten to adopt practices that become good one's.
> Do the thing that should be done, when you should do it!
> If I keep saying to myself that I cannot do something, it is possible I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the other hand, if I believe I can do it, I will surely acquire that capacity, even if I may not have it in the beginning. Gandhi
> Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.
> When you are clear, what you want becomes manifest; but only to the extent that you are clear.
> Everything is hard before it becomes easy!
> Nothing can stop the power of an image.
> The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.
> Action will remove the doubt that theory cannot solve!
> Identify yourself with your objective.
> Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Hebrews 10:38)
> Whether you believe you can or cannot, either way you're right! Henry Ford
> I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I find myself. For I have learned the greater part of misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but our disposition." Martha Washington 1732-1802, First Lady
> Your greatness is preceded only by your struggles.
...more to come!
