Discipline occurs in moments when intention
defeats indulgence, when mission trumps
mood, and when spirit conquers sentiment.”

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Those without clearly defined goals are continually tempted by every fashionable trend society serves up. Mediocrity is best defined as failing to set big goals for your life and neglecting to live the life God gave you. If we don’t routinely set challenging goals, we can become satisfied with surprisingly little. It’s easy to descend gradually into complacency and start accepting less than the best for yourself and your family.
  • #8 Albert Schweitzer - Man Must cease to attributing his problems to his environment and learn to again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility.
  • #9 Top ten reason to establish written goals in your life.
  • #12 Read story! Now pick your key audiences: Spouse | Children | Parents | Colleagues | Friends Write in the first Note Section - How you want them to remember you.
  • #13 Let’s call these your life accounts. We need to identify and prioritize your “life accounts.” Each has a certain value. A few have large balances, and one or two might be overdrawn.
