CROSSING BRIDGES:

The current bridge you are crossing doesn’t need to be crossed. At least not now and perhaps not ever. Don’t prepare, train or plan for it.

Cross that bridge when you get to it. You are currently worrying about something that will never happen. Would you pay interest on money that you never borrow? Then why are you sweating on a marathon that you are not even running.

Stop losing sleep over problems that do not exist yet; stop dodging objects that are not in motion, stop trying to find that which has never been lost.

“You wouldn’t pay tolls till you get to the toll booth. Likewise don’t cross the bridge till you get to its entrance.” ~Andres Lara

FOOTPRINTS:

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the God. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life, for each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the God.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the God about it. “God, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed most, you would leave me.”

The God replied, “My son. I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

-Author: Mary Stevenson Parker

“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.”

-Mother Teresa

PISTIS CHRISTIAN BOOKSHOP: CHRISTIAN LITERATURE TO EMPOWER BELIEVERS!

EXEMPLIFY DON'T CRITICIZE:

If you want others to be a particular way, you must be that way
yourself.

The best way to preach to others is by having your walk being your preaching.
Rather than being critical of others, you can model the behavior you want
them to perform.

People will resent your criticism, but will be influenced by your behaviors. Besides,
no one loves a critic. What behavior can you exemplify today?

"Never criticize a person until you've walked a mile in his/her moccasins."
- American Indian Proverb.

START: QUOTES

"Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are
responsible for who we become." - Unknown.

"The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started." - Dawson Trotman

"Don't wait for someone to take you under their wing. Find a good wing and climb
up underneath it." - Frank C. Bucaro.

"Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off a hard one makes it impossible."
- George H. Lonmer.

"Begin to weave and God will give the thread." - German Proverb.

START TODAY:

It should not be a problem to begin at the very end of the line of success,
yet it should be a problem not to begin at all.

The only way to get to the highest rung of any ladder is by beginning to
climb from a lower rung. Refuse to start climbing and you will remain
at the very bottom.

Where you start it's certainly not where you will end up. Yet if you never
start, you will end up exactly where you are right now. Start today.

"Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes."
- Dr. James Dobson.

TAKE THE STAIRS:

A group of tourists who were visiting the Empire State Building in New York
City heard the guide announce loudly that there was a three-hour wait to ride
the elevator to the top of the building. However, with a smile on his face the
guide then said, "There is no one waiting to go to the top if you are
willing to take the stairs. - Zig Zigglar.

"The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one
step at a time." - Joe Girard.

"If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than
if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded. You must never regret what might
have been. The past that did not happen is as hidden from us as the future we
cannot see." - Richard Martin Stern.

"Failure are divided into two classes -- those who thought and never did, and
those who did and never thought." - John Charles Salak.

FIND IT:

To accomplish great things you must not only dream, but also act.
Not only believe, but also risk.

You must not lose faith when everything is against you. If every door you
turn to is closed, knock. If it doesn't open, find another one. If you knock
enough doors, eventually one will open.

No door has ever stood in between a dreamer and a dream. If you knock
every door and none opened, find a window or a chimney. There is always
a way in, you must find it.

"Behold the turtle. It makes progress only when it sticks its neck ut."
- James Bryant Conant.

OPTIMISM: QUOTES

"In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has
a better time on the trip." - Daniel L. Reardon.

"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it
is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned;
it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and
not to abandon it to his enemy." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

"The point of living, and of being an optimist, is to believe that the best is
yet to come." - Peter Ustinoy.

"An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist
always run to blow it out." - Michel De Saint-Pierre.

"You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns
have roses." - Ziggy.

IT GETS BETTER

When your hopes are down, as they sometimes will; when your
emotional wounds seem, as though, they will never heal; when the
journey you are on, seems less than ideal; it's then that you must
exercise your mental will.

Tell yourself. Ift will get sunnier. I will get healthier and wealthier,
and my journey will get easier.

At the end of your life, who knows, you might not be right. Maybe it didn't
get sunnier, maybe you didn't get healthier or wealthier, and maybe your
journey didn't get any easier. But at least you would be able to say that
you enjoyed the ride.

"Remember, life is not about the place where you will arrive, but rather about
enjoying the drive." - Andres Lara.

HOPE: QUOTES

"You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there."
- Edwin Louis Cole.

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people
who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." - Dale Carnegie.

"When the odds are against me I prove them wrong, When all else fails I succeed,
When all else ceases to live I breath, When all turns to ashes from it I rise,
So it doesn't matter what you throw at me or what you do, I am, I do, that's all
that matters." - Heather Griggs

"Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit."
- Napoleon Hill.

"Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert H. Schuller.

TAKE ANOTHER STEP:

When every ounce of strength is drained from you, when you have
given all you had to give, when your hope wears out; it's then when
you must take another step forward.

One step beyond hopelessness will give you access to that which cannot
be drained, taken, or worn out. That which, like the ocean, cannot be
depleted...your essence.

You have more energy than challenges will ever be able to consume, more
strength than you will ever be able to employ, and more to give than there
is to be given. Take another step.

"Life gives anything we ask of it only after we refuse to take no for an answer."
- Andres Lara.

I'M STILL GROWING:

Though Edmund Hillary failed on his first attempt, on his second try he
climbed to the top of Mount Everest. A few weeks after his success, he
addressed a group. From the stage, he pointed at a picture of the mountain
and said in a loud voice, "Mount Everest , you beat me the first time ,but I beat
you the second time around because you grew all you were going to grew...
but I'm still growing!" - Brian Cavanaugh, T.O.R,.

"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life
meaningful." - Joshua J. Marine.

"Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top then you
will see how-low it really was." - Dag Hammarskjold.

"Never let a day pass you without saying, I will do better tomorrow." - Brigham Young.
