Humility is the Highway of Life
I heard a joke about a man who wrote a book and arrogantly entitled it, ‘Humility and How I Attained It’… Obviously, he missed the point. The road to humility is not crowded. Humility is not a popular subject. We live in a “dog eat dog society” […]

Gratitude is the Attitude of Life
Perhaps you have heard the expression, “Attitude is everything.” Your attitude can make or break you. In the Old Testament, it was murmuring and complaining that got the Hebrew children into the most trouble while they were wandering in the desert. No one enjoys being around someone […]

Stubbornness is the Obstinacy of Life
I believe that almost every negative attribute can be re-directed into something positive. For example, a dogged-determination could be confused with obstinate stubbornness.

Complaining is the Ungratefulness of Life
The act of complaining reflects an inner attitude of ungratefulness that refuses to acknowledge anything positive in the face of the slightest adversity or aggravation. Complaining misses the juiciness and the sweetness of the cherry, and focuses on the pit. Complaining is like overlooking the color and […]

Arrogance is the Vanity of Life
Most of us dislike associating with people who are arrogant. An arrogant person is described as being vain, prideful, conceited, and boastful. The dichotomy is that arrogance appears to be over-confident, when in reality it is the opposite. If you could look behind the veneer of arrogance […]
