Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.
William Arthur Ward
Image
In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.
William Arthur Ward
Image
Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.
William Arthur Ward
Image

William Arthur Ward
Image
Freedom's enemies are waste, lethargy, indifference, immorality, and the insidious attitude of something for nothing.
William Arthur Ward
Image
Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.
