The Discerning Realize That It Is Not

Where You Have Been Is Not Nearly As Important As Where You Are And Where You're Going.

The Direction In Which We Are Moving Is More Important Than Where We Are At The Moment. Goal Setting Should Cause Us To Stretch As We Make Our Way.

It Is Not So Important Whether A Young Man Has Been Through The Experience Of A Mission As It Is Whether The Mission Experience Has Been Through Him.

Commitment Is A Word That Cannot Stand Alone. We Must Always Ask, "committed To What?" . . . . Let Us Be Committed To . . . Using Jesus Christ As Our Master Teacher.

One Of The Great Tragedies Of Life, It Seems To Me, Is When A Person Classifies Himself As Someone Who Has No Talents Or Gifts. When, In Disgust Or Discouragement, We Allow Ourselves To Reach Depressive Levels Of Despair Because Of Our Demeaning Self-appraisal, It Is A Sad Day For Us And A Sad Day In The Eyes Of God. For Us To Conclude That We Have No Gifts When We Judge Ourselves By Stature, Intelligence, Grade-point Average, Wealth, Power, Position, Or External Appearance Is Not Only Unfair But Unreasonable.
