I've been working on implementing this one in my life for awhile now.
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Speed and Godliness are incompatible. Speed and peace are incompatible. Hurry and loving others is incompatible. Hearing God’s voice and hurry are incompatible. Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. -Dallas Woodard.
 
C.S. Lewis is my all time favorite author (nonfiction). He just has such a gift for saying something profound so simply a child could understand it. I've never come across anyone so obviously gifted by God. He is required reading in our homeschool.

CS Lewis is also very political and knows his history . I wonder if he is related to the Lewis of Lewis and Clark?
 
Here is a little piece I wrote back in 1985. It was a moral and ethical codex for how I wanted to live my life:

SELF LOVE
by Michael de Phoenix

Be happy with yourself, your achievements
and the work you've done to become what you are;
but never satisfied lest you stagnate or become vain.

Keep faith in yourself and in the universe,
for they both contain the power to sustain you.

Let rewards neither deter your good deeds nor be the cause.
Have grace in receiving as well as in giving;

Remember always; your life is made by the will and the word.
Desire that which is good and say only what you desire.

Above all else: walk softly, touching gently those you encounter along your way.
Life is a precious thing that should only be taken with love.

“The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life.”

Very nice poem. :thumbs up:
 
It night not make anybody feel good, but I have been told, more than once,

"Shut the ____ up and deal with it!"


And I have found that most often that is what life comes down to.

Around here we use the phrase "open a can of man". As in "How about you open a can of man and deal with it". Also "Put your big girl/boy pants on and cope". Same basic message.
