  1. Happiness is the Key to Life

    When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.  When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I wrote down ‘happy’.  They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. –John Lennon-
  2. Start Change With Yourself

    When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But, it too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they...
  3. The Story of the Dew Drop

    As the sun rose, a dew drop became aware of its surroundings. There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight and throwing it back out. Proud of its simple beauty, it was very content. Around it were other dew drops, some on the same leaf and some on other leaves round about. The dew drop was sure that it was the best, the most special dew drop of them all. Ah, it was good to...

  5. Waiting for God to Speak

    Once there was a man who dared God to speak. “Burn the bush like you did for Moses, God and I will follow. Collapse the walls like you did for Joshua, God and I will fight. Still the waves like you did on Galilee, God and I will listen.” And so the man went and sat by a bush, near a wall close to the sea and waited for God to speak. And God heard...
  6. Faith

    Faith is what keeps us connected to God even when we feel apart from Him.  It is our faith that always pulls us back and helps us to find Him again. “God came forth from “nothingness” no human can conceive; The very fact that we exist; is reason to believe.”                                             B. Killebrew
  7. One Solitary Life

    Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in an obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty, and then for three years he was an itinerant teacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never traveled, except in his...
  8. Value Each Step Along the Way

    Achievement takes time. Expect to achieve, and work to achieve, but don’t fool yourself into thinking that it will be quick or easy. That which is built in an instant can be knocked down just as quickly. Real, lasting value is created by committed, sustained effort. There are riches that patience and persistence will bring you, that you cannot experience any other way. Use each moment to move forward a little bit more, day after day, year...
  9. Little Bits

    Posted by

    If all you can do right now is a little bit, do it. Those little bits will quickly add up. Value that is built over time, in small increments, tends to be value that also lasts for a long time. Use each opportunity, each day, to build more. Doing something, even if it is just a little bit, is infinitely more productive than doing nothing. So do something, where you are, with what you have, using the...

    Many Problems, Many Parts, One Step People are always getting ready to live, but never living. Your success will start when you begin to pursue it. To reach your goal or to attain success, you don’t need to know all of the answers in advance, you just need to have a clear idea of what your goal is. Don’t procrastinate when faced with difficult problems. Break your problems into parts, and handle one part at a...
