QUOTES ON GOAL-SETTING

I love these quotes. The first two by Mays and Twain are my favorites. They remind me of the verse: "With God all things are possible..."

"The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It isn't a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim, is a sin." -- Benjamin Mays

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

"If you can accomplish all your goals in a year or two, your goals are too small." -- Joel Osteen

"The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things." -- Albert Einstein

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." --C.S. Lewis

"Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre." -- Chet Atkins

Del, Glad to see you back. I've been thinking about this recently. I've been saved for 4 years now. And, I believe what is happening in my life is the Lord, is doing for me what my parents did not do. Which is to train me up in the way I should go. Even at 47 yrs old. Does that make any sense?

Another thought I need to be water baptized. But I am kinda scared to get in front of alot of folks. I hope that does not mean I am ashame of Jesus. I really Love Him.

Final thought, I really am waiting for the Holy Ghost to fall upon me as He did on the apostles.
