“Some persons are very decisive when it comes to avoiding decisions.”
—Brendan Francis
Indecision tends to keep us stuck in the middle of a road going nowhere. Fortunately to get back on track, we need only to decide to decide, trusting that whatever our decision might be, it will take us exactly where we need to be.
One way or another, may you always be willing to decide.
Love

“I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.”
—Matthew Henry
English clergyman, 1662-1714
We can always find reason to express gratitude and as we express it, more reasons for its expression arise. In the cultivation of a grateful heart, any excuse will do.
May you always find reason to be grateful.
Love
Bill
“I’ve heard of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. But I’ve never heard of Someday.”
—Reverend Ike
We have to start before we can succeed at anything and when we keep putting off our dreams until Someday, we unconsciously stall moving toward what we want. We are better served when instead of wishfully thinking “Someday, I will…” we confidently affirm “Today, I steadfastly advance toward my goal.”
May you always be willing to give up Someday for this day.

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.”
—Wendell Berry
Have you ever noticed how often life reveals itself to us on a “need-to-know” basis? We don’t have to be consciously aware of what to do next because our inner being always knows. Sometimes it’s best to just be willing to let the adventure begin, trusting that everything else will take care of itself.
May you always be willing to trust your journey will take you where you need to go, wherever that might be.
Love
Bill
“You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so you learn to love God and man by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art.”
—St. Francis De Sales
An amazing thing happens when we commit to mastering love. The more we love, the better we live, and in opening our minds, hearts and arms to love, we look around us and one day discover we have mastered something else as well: We have mastered our lives.
May you always be willing to master love.
Love
Bill
