Quote of the Day

"Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."
George E. Woodberry

What a quote. I can relate to this quote on so many levels. I have felt this way so many times regarding raising some of my adopted kids. I have felt defeated to the bone. I have tried, and tried and tried with them but to no avail. They have made choices contrary to what is best for them and for society. Do I think I could have done better? Sure, in hindsight everyone can see things they could have done different. But I know in my heart of hearts that I did my best given the circumstances and situation. I know I did more than many would have. Had I not tried – now that would have been the true failure.

Have a GREAT day!

Quote of the Day

"The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams."
— Og Mandino: Author, The Greatest Salesman in the World.

I love to set and achieve goals. I have lived most of my life by goals and to do lists. I usually know what I am aiming at. Sometimes tho, I get off focus and am aimless. I hate that feeling. I also don’t like not knowing what God wants me to do. Heck, sometimes I don’t know what I want me to do. I want a passion and something I am passionate about. Something I am so passionate about it gets me up in the morning excited about the day. I have things I can do. Things I am good at. Things I sort of enjoy doing – but nothing I am passionate about. Once I find something I am passionate about, then figure out how to monetize that passion. Life will come into focus and I will be able to move forward in a positive direction.

Until then, I will go thru one day at a time praying for direction and passion. Do you have direction and passion??? I sure hope so.

Have a magnificient day.
