Sustained Inspiration
Discipline is remembering what you want.
-David Campbell
For most of us, the greatest struggle we have with inspiration is its apparent lack of persistence. We have a vision that motivates us: to have a beautiful body, to maintain a strong relationship with God, to develop a skill or to be successful in some way.

Letting Go of Future Expectations
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
-Winston Churchill
As a younger, single man, I would obsess over the idea of finding someone to spend my life with. Most of my relationships were short lived. I worried so much about how they would end up, that I couldn’t take the time to enjoy the person I was with. After several failed relationships, I finally …
