There are three constants in life...
Change, choice and principles.

The key is not to prioritize
What’s on your schedule,
But to schedule your priorities.

Our character is basically
A composite of our habits.
Because they are consistent,
Often unconscious patterns,
They constantly, daily,
Express our character.

Behind?

If you are depressed
You are living in the past.
If you are anxious
You are living in the future.
If you are at peace
You are living in the present.

Hard to be happy is that they
Always see the past better
Than it was,
The present worse than it is,
And the future less resolved
Than it will be.

It is about contribution.

If you are really thankful,
What do you do?

To imitate the success of others.

Mama wanted me to be a preacher.
I told her coachin' and preachin'
Were a lot alike.
- Coach Paul Bryant

The old lessons (work, self-discipline,
Sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve)
Aren’t being taught by many people other
Than football coaches these days.
The football coach has a captive audience
And can teach these lessons because the
Communication lines between himself and
His players are more wide open than between
Kids and parents.
We better teach these lessons or else the
Country’s future population will be made up
Of a majority of crooks, drug addicts,
Or people on relief.
- Coach Paul Bryant

I have tried to teach them to show class,
To have pride, and to display character.
I think football, winning games,
Takes care of itself if you do that.
- Coach Paul Bryant

If you want to conquer fear;

- Dale Carnegie

Every loving or compassionate
Thought outweighs many thousands
Of negative thoughts held by others.
- Dr. David Hawkins
 
There is much satisfaction
In work well done, 
But there can be no happiness
Equal to the joy of finding a 
Heart that understands.

061120 quotes



The thing I like about baseball
Is that it’s one-on-one.
You stand up there alone,
And if you make a mistake,
It’s your mistake.
If you hit a home run,
It’s your home run.
- Hank Aaron

There is little difference in people,
But that little difference makes
A big difference.
The little difference is attitude.
The big difference is whether
It is positive or negative.
- W. Clement Stone

I am convinced that it is not
The fear of death,
Of our lives ending that haunts
Our sleep so much as the fear...
That as far as the world is concerned,
We might as well never have lived.
- Harold Kushner

052620 Stay-at-Home Parents Need Insurance Too



Mike and Stacy have been married for ten years, and for most of that time
Mike has been lucky enough to stay home with the kids while Stacy has
been the primary breadwinner. While Stacy earns a good living, she would
struggle to cover the cost of a nanny or other childcare provider if something
 were to happen to Mike.

Mike provides a variety of services to the family. He takes care of childcare,
transportation, managing the household and their finances. He also deals with
repairs and maintenance for their home. Mike also earns a small income doing
 handyman services around the neighborhood.

They decide that in the event something happened to Mike,
a life insurance policy would ensure that Stacy would have enough money to hire the
necessary help or take a few years off to stay at home as the family learns to cope
with the loss.

Stacy purchases a 20-year term policy with a death benefit of $750,000 that will
give her the financial means to replace the services Mike provided for the family as
well as cover the cost of sending the kids to college.

Memorial Day Speech by President Ronald Reagan

05232020 Some Gave All...



Some Gave All

I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero, yes was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me

All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All

Now Sandy Cane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood their ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see?

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Yes recall
Some Gave All
Some Gave All

Based on what kind of clothes he/she
Wears or how popular he/she is,
Chances are you aren’t going to
Stay in touch after graduation.

The mistakes of others
You can’t possibly live
Long enough to make
Them all yourself.

Thinks He’s wrong.

Life is an echo.
What you send out comes back.
What you sow you reap.
What you give you get.
What you see in others exists in you.
Regardless of whom you are or what you do,
If you are looking for the best way to reap the
Most reward in all areas of life,
You should look for the good in every person and
In every situation and adopt the golden rule as a way of life.
- Zig Ziglar

051820 Don’t Leave Your Kids Holding the Bag



Don’t Leave Your Kids Holding the Bag

Kelly, a single mother, always thought it would be a good idea to buy life insurance
to protect her children, but something always seemed to get in the way. 
Money was tight, or time was tight and she just never got around to it. 
Years later, Kelly purchased a small home; her daughter was then 18 years old and
her son was 14.  While she didn't exactly live paycheck to paycheck, her budget 
was pretty tight and didn't allow her much room for savings.
One night while driving home from work, Kelly was struck head-on by a distracted driver. 
She died instantly. While Kelly’s children were forced to deal with the tragic loss of 
their mother, they also had to face the fact that she left behind only a few thousand 
dollars in the bank and no life insurance, leaving them essentially broke after covering
 the cost of a very basic funeral. 
That is why life insurance is important. Nobody knows what is coming around the corner.
If you die unexpectedly, you can leave your spouse or children in a very tight spot. 
Term life insurance is extremely affordable. 
A 20-year policy with a death benefit of $500,000 for a healthy female can cost as little 
as $25 a month.
