All one needs to do is read - books, magazines, research the Internet - and pay attention to the influencers in their lives to discover the myriad people of strong moral character who have and still are making positive, meaningful contributions and differences in our world.

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there.

Character produces endurance and persistence when the going gets tough, and life truly is an endurance race, not a sprint.

You have made some mistakes and you may not be where you want to be, but that has nothing to do with your future.

Fortunately, problems are an everyday part of our life. Consider this: If there were no problems, most of us would be unemployed. Realistically, the more problems we have and the larger they are, the greater our value to our employer.

If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.

Happiness is the result of what you do.
