WORDS FOR TODAY
I feel like God has a plan for all of us. I don't think that God's only plan for me is to help race fans get to the races with the least amount of trouble. I reach many people with this website. I have been thinking about starting this page for awhile. Some days this page maybe religious, some days it maybe about attitude and some days it maybe about life. Some days I will write it and some days I will simply put a phrase here from other people that inspire me. Hopefully, all days it will helpful to some one. I hope all of you get something from it at some time.
TODAY'S MESSAGE: Potential and Purpose
I have learned that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. –Henry David Thoreau
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. - Nelson Mandela, inaugural address, written by Marianne Williamson
A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for. –William Shedd

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right? Charles Schulz:
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Helen Keller
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Henry David Thoreau
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done. Marie Curie:
My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. Pablo Picasso

Many times her message for the day has made me laugh BUT also made me think. Check her out on TV, Radio (listing on her website) or at her website:www.joycemeyer.org
