Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.

If you want to stop an argument, close your mouth.

Cultivate your own capabilities, your own style. Appreciate the members of your family for who they are, even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours. Rabbits don't fly. Eagles don't swim. Ducks look funny trying to climb. Squirrels don't have feathers. Stop comparing. There's plenty of room in the forest.

Lead with action and let the feelings follow.

If you never get criticized, chances are you aren't getting anything done.

Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.

Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
