The Beauty of Contentment

    There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment. Sivananda   God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it. Aiden Wilson Tozer    The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment. Doug Larson   It is not our circumstances that create our discontent or contentment. It is us. Vivien Greene   Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase. John Balguy  

Common Denominator of Success

    “Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility in the final analysis. The one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.” Michael Korda     If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim. Richard Bach   It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities. Josiah Stamp   All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, it will not change you.

And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace. Jerry Bridges   We can be certain that God will give us the strength and resources we need to live through any situation in life that he ordains. The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us. Billy Graham   Believe the best about people. Pray for their short comings. You are not the standard. We all need grace. LeCrae   Grace is a power that comes in and transforms a moment into something better Caroline Myss  

The Purpose of Life

    The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. Pablo Picasso   I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive. Joseph Campbell   The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. Eleanor Roosevelt   Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. Thomas Merton   When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. John Lennon   The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around i...
