When you have a sense of calling, whether it's to be a musician, soloist, artist, in one of the technical fields, or a plumber, there is something deep and enriching when you realize it isn't just a casual choice, it's a divine calling. It's not limited to vocational Christian service by any means.
Charles R. Swindoll
Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!
Charles R. Swindoll
Sometimes people can't see past us to hear our message. We never have a second chance to leave a first impression.
Charles R. Swindoll
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.
Charles R. Swindoll
Fortunately Jesus didn't leave [the disciples]-or any of us-without hope or direction. Where we fail, Jesus succeeded. The only One who as able to recognize and follow His purpose from the beginning was Jesus. He alone was able to obey consistently and please God completely. And His divine mission was to make a way for each of us to do the same.

Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.
Charles R. Swindoll
What is God looking for? He is looking for men and women whose hearts are completely His - completely.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets
Charles R. Swindoll
God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.
Charles R. Swindoll
When the Lord makes it clear you're to follow Him in this new direction, focus fully on Him and refuse to be distracted by comparisons with others.
Charles R. Swindoll
God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.
Charles R. Swindoll
One essential ingredient for being an original in the day of copies is courageous vision.
Charles R. Swindoll
Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.
Charles R. Swindoll
Do not lean on your own understanding. That means don't bring in the crutches and lean on them, those crutches that you have designed and made to handle such situations. Stay away from them. Don't lean on them lean on God.
Charles R. Swindoll
I'm glad . . . that Edison didn't give up on the light bulb. That Luther refused to back down. That Michelangelo kept painting. That Lindbergh kept flying.
Charles R. Swindoll
We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.
Charles R. Swindoll
The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it.
