All I have seen teaches me

To trust the Creator for

All I have not seen.

To give away is kindness…

And dares to forgive an injury.

Thinking...

 

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find;
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the person who wins
Is the person who thinks 'I CAN'.

- Walter D. Wintle

Extraordinary people survive

Under the most terrible

Circumstances and they become

More extraordinary because of it.

- Robertson Davies

 

 

To grow, you must be willing

To let your present and future

Be totally unlike your past.

Your history is not your destiny.

- Alan Cohen

 

 

Remember that if the opportunities

For great deeds should never come, 

the opportunities for good deeds are

Renewed day by day.

The thing for us to long for is the

Goodness, not the glory.

- F.W. Faber

 

 

If you looked over your life

At the end of it…

Life wouldn’t be measured

In terms of success based on

What you’ve acquired or achieved

Or what you own.

The only thing that’s really going

To matter is the relationships you had.

It’s gonna come down to this…

What kind of father were you?

What kind of husband were you?

What kind of coach or teammate were you?

What kind of son were you?

What kind of brother were you?

What kind of friend were you?

Success comes in terms of relationships.

- Joe Erhmann
