Lying damages others. Lying subtly permits us to destroy ourselves as we are caught in the snare and shatter our own self-image and credibility. Freedom from deceit and lying improves self and gives all of us peace of mind.

The direction in which we are moving is more important than where we are at the moment. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.

We are poor in character when we think getting by is a substitute for doing our best.

Over the years I have learned that when I need answers to deal with crises, people, and issues, I must go to God. God will help us in everything we do if we stay in tune and if we will call on him. We must each plan our future with him in our homes, our families, and our relationships with others. If we make him our senior partner, our lives can be successful.

It is a happy day when we come to know that with God's help, nothing is impossible for us.

Everything is given by God. All talent, creativity, ability, insight, and strength comes from him. In our own strength we can do nothing.

Where you have been is not nearly as important as where you are and where you're going.
