16 Things That Live In My Head Rent Free, As I Strive To "Finish Well"

 

When I reached the stage of my life when most people retire, I made a conscious decision to use the God given gifts, opportunities and resources given to “re-direct” my life. As an entrepreneur, I’ve always kind of gone out on my own, not always clear of where it would take me, but convinced I didn’t want to stay where I was..
1.      Fear does not stop death; it keeps you from living.
2.      If it cost you your peace, it’s too expensive
3.      People only see the decisions you’ve made, not the choices you had.
4.      Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.
5.      The magic you’re seeking is in the work your avoiding.
6.      Ships are safe in the harbor, but that’s not what they were built for.
7.      Ambition without action turns into anxiety.
8.      To live a life most people don’t, they must be willing to do what most people won’t.
9.      I can do anything, but not everything—I must focus on purpose and my giftedness.
10.  If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone.
11.  Those who don’t move will never see what’s holding them in chains.
12.  It’s ok to live a life most people don’t understand. God said many will view it as “foolishness”.
13.  If someone could only see your actions and not hear your words, what would they say your priorities are?
14.  You can’t have a new reality with an old mind-set.
15.  No risk, no story
16. Plus ONE…I may not always be successful, but the one thing I know (in all matters of my life) God promised
“It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." - Deuteronomy 31:6-8
