Sailing

When one is kicked off a 'ship of fools' one need not feel ashamed. When one is the captain of said ship one does not have anything to brag about.

Incident

It seems that the only place nations from all over can get along is at a food festival. I hope there is not an international incident in my stomach later!

Enough

Be patient enough to turn ideals into reality. Be impatient enough not to settle for any thing less.

Provisions

If children are to fail in life. It should not be because they were not given every opportunity and provided every resource they would have needed to succeed.

Things

Small things become major issues in small minds.

Construction

As you build a relationship, you might find that perfect balance is probably impossible to maintain. But if you find you always show up with a dump truck full of lovin' and they always come with a shovel, you might want to consider moving to another construction site.

Pay It

Saw a guy pay it forward. He got off of his bike to remove debris from the roadway a car had run over.

Burdens

Never discount a person because of the 'baggage' they might carry. Buy a cart. Load theirs on board, then load your own. Now walk together and fellowship with each other.

Family Time

There comes a time in boot camp when recruits began to gel. The barracks becomes 'home' and the strangers you live with become 'family'.

It is at this point drill and cadence become crisper, uniforms become sharper and bearing becomes focused.

It was during this time that a young white guy from Iowa made the following confession to his newly found black brothers. He said that all his life he had been brought up to hate black people, but had never actually spent any time with any black person before. And he summed up his conclusion with a simple phrase, "But you know, y'all alright!"

Enough said.

Comfort

The comfort of our comfort zones gives us the illusion of safety, happiness, security and prosperity. But in reality, all we may have is just comfort. Sometimes, in order to truly achieve these objectives we must leave our familiar comfort and exchange it, for a time, for discomfort and uncertainty. This requires a willingness to change preceeded by an astute ability to assess reality accurately.

Direction

Pessimism and optimism both part from reality, albeit in opposite directions.
