Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

POTENTIAL/POSSIBILITIES***
“Refrain from asking what is going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.”
-Horace
“There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less.”
-Kurt Hahn
“Life can be lived more fully if people simply quit pretending to be who they were told to be, and be who they really are…”
-Doug Firebaugh
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream. Not only plan but also believe.”
-Anatole France
When people complain of life, it is almost always because they have asked impossible things from it.
-Ernest Renan
All too often we are living in the past, preoccupied with something that has happened to us; or we are living in the future, waiting for a time when life will treat us magnificently and we will be happy; or worrying about what lies ahead and how we will cope....But every day of our lives brings the opportunity for a new beginning, and there was never a better time to be.
-Eileen Campbell
PLANNING
“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.”
-Jim Rohn
“Every evening, write down the six most important things that you must do the next day. Then while you sleep your subconscious will work on the best ways for you to accomplish them. Your next day will go much more smoothly.”
-Tom Hopkins
“Planning is a real waste of time.... for those who waste time.”
-Doug Firebaugh
“Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.”
-Susan Ertz
HOPE
The important thing is not that we can live on hope alone, but that life is not worth living without it.
-Harvey Milk
Take from a man his wealth, and you hinder him; take from him his purpose, and you slow him down. But take from man his hope, and you stop him. He can go on without wealth, and even without purpose, for awhile. But he will not go on without hope.
-C. Neil Strait

Today I'm drawn to this quote:
All too often we are living in the past, preoccupied with something that has happened to us; or we are living in the future, waiting for a time when life will treat us magnificently and we will be happy; or worrying about what lies ahead and how we will cope....But every day of our lives brings the opportunity for a new beginning, and there was never a better time to be.

Very wise!
Thanks Joni!!!
Like I said, I'm never in short supply of a quote that cuts right to the heart of the matter. :)
I looked at these again, and this one speaks to me:
“Life can be lived more fully if people simply quit pretending to be who they were told to be, and be who they really are…”
-Doug Firebaugh
A keeper, Joni!
I can honestly say I am living proof of this quote.
I grew up being told to be this, be that, and look at me now! I'm sitting a thousand miles away from those people actually being who God intended me to be, MYSELF. :)
