For whatever reason, God has blessed me with the ability, put me in a position to make these leaps and bounds. I'm fulfilling my part of the bargain, which is to give back and be a positive influence on others.

The Prayer of Jabez 
by Bruce Wilkinson

  "Oh, that You would bless me indeed,

          and enlarge my territory,

   that Your hand would be with me,

and that You would keep me from evil."

We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure - all your life.

~ John W. Gardner Quotes

The Soul of Money 
by Lynne Twist

Excerpt: 

"Rarely in our life is money a place of genuine freedom, joy, or clarity; yet we routinely allow it to dictate the terms or our lives and often to be the single most important factor in the decisions we make about work,love, family, and friendship.   There is little that we accept so completely as the power and authority of money, and assumptions about how we should feel about it."

The best way out is always through.
