The Word for you Today
Posted by Salli (Scanlan) Moore (+78) 13 years ago
Our lives are like icebergs, only 15 percent is visible; that's reputation. The rest, our character, is below the surface, hidden. Character is what we think but never share. It's what we do when no one is watching. It's how we react to everyday aggravations. It's how we handle failure and success. The thing that has made us what we are is our choices. At the end of a successful career, Joshua challenged the people of Israel: "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.. but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.

There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
'Be kinder than necessary
because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
