GREAT EMERGENCIES FROM THE FATHER OF AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGY…AND AN INSIGHT INTO THE POWER OF PATIENCE

“Most people live, whether physically,
intellectually, or morally, in a very
restricted circle of their potential being.

They make use of a very small portion of their
possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources
in general, much like a man who out of his whole
bodily organism, should get in the habit of
using and moving only his little finger.

Great emergencies and crises show us
how much greater our vital resources
are than we had supposed.”

- William James (1842-1910)
Father of American Psychology

“Patience is power.
Patience is not
an absence of action;
rather,
it is “timing”;
it waits on the
right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”

- FULTON J. SHEEN (1895-1979), Clergyman

WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE –
OPRAH AND PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

During the presidential campaign of 2000, Oprah Winfrey interviewed presidential candidate George W. Bush, Jr. on her show. She asked him this interesting question, “What do you know for sure?”

He answered that he knew for sure that there was an all-loving God.

It got me thinking about what I know for sure. Here's my list . . .

1. Getting started is always the toughest part.

2. Show up early, something good is bound to happen.

3. Hot dogs always taste better at the ballpark.

4. All of us have more potential than we realize.

5. Working hard works and working smart works, but working hard and working smart work best when you do them together.

6. If you're a student, just showing up to class isn't enough -- you also have to pay attention.

7. Knowing what to do isn't as much of a problem as doing what you know.

8. Hang on and you'll eventually catch on.

9. An apple a day might not keep the doctor away, but it's still a pretty good idea.

10. If it is to be it is up to me.

- Dr. Rob Gilbert.

THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

The most common disease in our culture is not cancer, heart disease, or diabetes – it is lack of self esteem.

Do you have good self esteem?

HERE'S THE TEST: Are you your own best friend?

The following was written by J. Coudert . . .

“It is rewarding to find someone whom you like, but it is essential to like yourself.

It is quickening to recognize someone as a good and decent human being, but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable.

It is a delight to discover people who are worthy of respect, admiration, and love, but it is vital to believe yourself deserving of these things.

For you cannot live in someone else.
You cannot find yourself in someone else.
You cannot be given a life by someone else.

Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never leave nor lose.

To the question of your life, you are the only answer.
To the problems of your life, you are the only solution.

- J. Coudert
