What Really Matters

It is not the guy who cut you off in traffic or the near-miss accident. It is the fact that you made it to and from safely.

It is not the ocassional poor grade.  It is the education.

It is not who has more or who has less. It is that we are sharing.

It is not the petty differences.  It is the similarities.

It is not who is right and who is wrong. It is that we are talking.

It is not where you have been. It is what you have learned along the way.

It is not how difficult the journey may be. It is the hope in your heart that inspires you to keep moving.

It is not where you are going. It is how you plan to get there.

It is not what faith you practice. It is that you practice your faith.

It is not that you are eating steak, lobster and fresh vegetables. It is that you have food to eat.

It is not what you believe. It is that you Believe.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"It is not who you Love. It is that you Love all." tc

Strong Support

Our world is changing rapidly.  Less than 100 years ago, people labored for their food, clothing and shelter. If they didn't produce it themselves, oftentimes, they went without.  Although, I don't physically grow my own food or sew my own clothing, I do have to work for the things that I need.
 If I rush through my job and make a number of errors, the rule of Cause and Effect glares back at me through the eyes of an unhappy supervisor. If I am self-employed, the effect of my efforts returns to me as less business options. However, if I take my time and do a thoughtful job, the rule of Cause and Effect rewards me with praise, success, accomplishment and satisfaction. The fruits of my labor stand for themselves.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Like the integrity invested in laying a strong foundation, your future success is determined by your efforts extended today." tc
