 True? 

Life is not a race—but indeed a journey.  Be Honest.  Work  hard.  Be choosy.  Say  ”thank you,” “I love you,” and “great job” to someone each day.  Go to church, take time for prayer.  Let you handshake mean more than pen and paper.  Love your life and what you have been given, it is not accidental.  Search for your purpose and do it as best you can.  Dreaming does matter.  It allows you to become that which you aspire to be.  Laugh often.  Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them.  Some of the best things really are free.  Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming.  Forgive, it frees the soul.  Take time for yourself, plan for longevity.  Recognize the special people you been blessed to know.  Live for today, enjoy the moment.

Books, Books everywhere, and videos, too.

Genesis 18:  One of them said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son."

Colossians 1:  It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

Luke 10:  "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.  There is need of only one thing.  Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."

Life is not one choice. It is a series of many choices. It is not one stage or phase or decision. It is many of them. And it is out of all those things that we become the fullness of ourselves.
