The greatest opportunity of our lives is to wake ourselves up and get going. There is so much to be done and so little time to do it. We should impress ourselves with the seriousness of slothfulness.

When in our minds we pre-live our marriage, we help to determine the kind of person that we would like to be when that event arrives. As we pre-live our success, we develop the abilities necessary to bring it about. And with the information and direction given us in the Holy Scriptures we can even pre-live that important period that lies beyond the boundaries of this life.

The way of success is not run with seven league boots but step by step, little by little, bit by bit ... with no exceptions allowed.

We insist on near perfection in everyone except ourselves. But if our course is questioned we become offended.

Punctuality is closely related to faithfulness and dependability. Being tardy can be linked to uninterest, apathy, slothfulness and procrastination.

We can cross the rivers of doubt and discouragement on the bridge of faith even before we get to them

Discouragement is an attitude.
