All Good Thoughts
When
defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not
sound.
Rebuild those plans and set sail once more toward your coveted
goal.
Napoleon
Hill
Become the kind of leader that people would follow
voluntarily,
even if you had no title or position.
Brian Tracy
We have not wings we cannot soar; but, we have feet to
scale and climb,
by slow degrees, by more and more, the cloudy summits of our time.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The
vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone
in
your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will
become.
James Lane Allen
Inspirational Reading
LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE
Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do
people die of love." It's true.
You really can't love somebody to
death. I've known people to die from
no love, but I've never known anyone to
be loved to death. We just
can't love one another enough.
A heart-warming story tells of a woman
who finally decided to ask her
boss for a raise in salary. All day she
felt nervous and apprehensive.
Late in the afternoon she summoned the
courage to approach her
employer. To her delight, the boss
agreed to a raise.
The woman arrived home that evening to
a beautiful table set with
their best dishes. Candles were softly
glowing. Her husband had come
home early and prepared a festive meal.
She wondered if someone from
the office had tipped him off. Or … did
he just somehow know that she
would not get turned down?
She found him in the kitchen and told
him the good news. They embraced
and kissed, then sat down to the
wonderful meal. Next to her plate the
woman found a beautifully lettered
note. It read: "Congratulations,
darling! I knew you'd get the raise!
These things will tell you how
much I love you."
Following the supper, her husband went
into the kitchen to clean up.
She noticed that a second card had
fallen from his pocket. Picking it
off the floor, she read: "Don't worry
about not getting the raise! You
deserve it anyway! These things will
tell you how much I love you."
Someone has said that the measure of
love is when you love without
measure. What this man feels for his
spouse is total acceptance and
love, whether she succeeds or fails.
His love celebrates her victories
and soothes her wounds.
He stands with her, no matter what life
throws in their direction. He
may say that he loves her to death. But
he doesn't. He loves her to
LIFE. For his love nourishes her life
like nothing else can.
Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize,
Mother Teresa said: "What can
you do to promote world peace? Go home
and love your family." And love
your friends. Love them without measure.
Love them to LIFE.
