    “If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs.  If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

      “When a king begins to act like a king, it is not long before someone else is king!  Serving is a way we can place value on one another.  A wise man is a server.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

        “Seek wisdom.  Wisdom waits to be gathered.  She cannot be bartered or sold.  She is a fight for the diligent.  And only the diligent will find her.  The lazy man – the stupid man – never even looks.  Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few.  Seek wisdom.  Find her, and you will find success and contentment.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

          “From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past.  I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing.  Never again will I blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or other employees for my present situation.  Neither my education nor lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstantial ebb and flow of everyday life will affect my future in a negative way.  If I allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past.  I will look forward.  I will not let my history control my destiny.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

            “Be like a sponge when it comes to each new experience. If you want to be able to express it well, you must first be able to absorb it well.” ~ Jim Rohn

              Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. ~ Steve Jobs

                  Work Hard at Work Worth Doing ~ Theodore Roosevelt

                    But words are things, and a small drop of ink,

                    Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces

                    That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

                    ~ George Gordon Byron

                              “The words It’s not my fault! should never again come from your mouth.  The words It’s not my fault! have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Eve took her first bite of the apple.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

                                “Outside influences are not responsible for where you are mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or financially.  You have chosen the pathway to your present destination.  The responsibility for your situation is yours.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

                                  “We are all in situations of our own choosing.  Our thinking creates a pathway to success or failure.  By disclaiming responsibility for our present, we crush the prospect of an incredible future that might have been ours.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

                                    “For centuries, dreams have been used to communicate instruction and direction to people of purpose – great men and women.  God used dreams to prepare Joseph for his future as a leader of nations.  He gave battle plans to Gideon in a dream.  Joan of Arc, Jacob, George Washington, Marie Curie, and the apostle Paul were all guided by their dreams.”

                                        “All human beings seek the happy life, but many confuse the means – for example, wealth and status – with that life itself.  This misguided focus on the means to a good life makes people get further from the happy life.  The really worthwhile things are the virtuous activities that make up the happy life, not the external means that may seem to produce it.” ~ Epictetus
