A goal is a dream with a deadline

Everyone has things they want to achieve in life, and today's quote from Napoleon Hill makes a good point about this.
"A goal is a dream with a deadline."

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit

Everyone wants to do something with their lives. Maybe you have already gotten to where you want to be, but it's more likely that you're still trying to figure out how to get there. If that is the case, this quote from Aristotle should give you with something to think about.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it

Time and time again in the Bible, we are told how much God loves us and wants the best for us. God also wants us to love one another, and today's Bible verse from Isaiah 26:3 is a great example of this.
"Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it."

Dream big and dare to fail

Everyone in life has hopes and dreams, but too often we are scared to act on our hopes because we are worried we might fail. That's exactly the wrong attitude to take, and it's the point that American explorer and dogsled driver Norman Vaughan was making with today's quote:
"Dream big and dare to fail."

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand

Life can often be challenging and frustrating, but we should remember that God has promised to help us throughout all that we do and to help lead us to good things. This verse from Psalms 16:11 is a good example of this:

"You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

A lot of times in life we may think we are all alone or that we have been forgotten. We need to remember, though, that the Lord is there for us, as today's verse from Isaiah 30:18 says.

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

If You Can't Accept Losing, You Can't Win

Vince Lombardi was a famous football coach who was known for being tough and for leading his teams to victory. While his words were meant to inspire athletes playing on the "Frozen Tundra" of Green Bay, we can find some wisdom in a few of his quotes, too. Today's quote is from Lombardi, and I think that it says a lot.
"If you can't accept losing, you can't win."
