Sink or swim? I say, "Choosing to 'sink' is to trust nothing, and choosing to 'swim' is to trust fate. However, choosing to 'float' is to faithfully trust Him.

Do not yet label him as the enemy. The perceived cause of your mental angst could very well be your brother-in-arms in training.

On a cloudy day, I might ask myself, "Why should I continue to 'extend an olive branch' to someone who is unwilling to 'step out on a limb'?" On a clear day, my answer is simply this, "Let not my withdrawal of an offer of friendship ever be the excuse for nonacceptance."...

I've learned from this life of mine that one cannot be a good friend to me until one ceases to be his own worst enemy.

Yes…There does exist in the workplace: the corporate ladder to climb, the glass ceiling to break, the small pond from which we must leap, and the box to think outside of in an effort to be successful. But once we realize these are conditions placed upon the mind--a mindset that we personally don’t have to adopt--we are free to pursue our success without encumbrance or hesitation!

Lose weight instantly by dropping the facade. It's too heavy a burden to bear.

What I've observed about being "tired": It's a temporary condition--a minor nuisance to those of us who are driven. Work hard when you have the energy. Rest when you are weary. Even God rested on the seventh day!

You may define me at my funeral; I refuse to be placed in a box before I die!
