Today's Reading Lessons

There is just so much value in my readings that I am going to continue to share tid bits on Saturday's for you to ponder over the weekend. Here are some nuggets from today:



Proverbs 30:24: "There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise: The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer..." ...I bet you never considered an ant wise!!! Yet we could all learn a great deal from understanding the way ants function...this is a valuable life lesson.

Og Manino: "Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why should the miracle that produced me end with my birth?" We would all be amazed at what we are capable of with the blessings we each have, if we would simply use them diligently each day...

Lee Cockerell (Creating Magic): "At the end of your life, no one will care what titles you once held, or how much money you made, or what a big shot you thought you were. If you really care about your legacy-and you should if you want to be a great leader-then take a long, close look at your values and the principles on which they are based. If your character is strong, and you build your actions faithfully on that foundation, you will be remembered as a leader worthy of being followed.
Fairness, honesty, respect for others, cooperation, integrity, courage, caring: These and similar virtues are what give you moral authority, and that is the strongest and most lasting kind of authority a leader can have. When you have that moral authority, people will trust you and believe in you, and then you can accomplish anything you dream of."

Dr. Karl Menninger (Failing Forward-Maxwell): When asked the question, "What would you advise a person to do if he felt a nervous breakdown coming on?" Most people expected him to reply, "Consult a psychiatrist," since that was his profession. To their astonishment he replied, "Lock up your house, go across the railway tracks, find someone in need, and do something to help that person."

I wish you a wonderful and blessed weekend.
