Le Musings of Moi

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

You were born God's original, try not to become a copy. --Marian Wright Edelman, The Measure of our Success

God won't ask you why you weren't Moses, he'll ask you why you weren't the you he created.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting." -- E.E. Cummings

I dont live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy (wo)man. --quote from The Alchemist

We always knew who we were and that the measure of our worth was inside our heads and hearts and not outside in our possessions or on our backs. --Marian Wright Edelman, The Measure of our Success.

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." ~ John Wooden ~

"May we never let the things we can't have or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have."

"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." ~ Frank Outlaw ~

"The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart."

Anxiety is that which divides and distracts the soul, that which diverts us from present duty to weary calculations of how to meet conditions that may NEVER arrive. It's the habit of crossing bridges before we reach them.

Worry never changes a thing, except the worrier.

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It's when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him and to mind to the present.

Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of it's sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

This is the blessed life - not anxious to see far in front, nor eager to choose the path, but quietly following behind the Shepherd, one step at a time. The Shepherd was always out in front of the sheep. He was down in front. Any attack on them had to take him into account. Now God is down in front. He in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread, God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us.

Often times the things we worry about are far bigger and more overwhelming then they would be in real life. Once, and IF, they come, they are more often than not easier to manage.

Paying the bills...
