Everything You Do Matters To

It’s Obvious You Kids Are Smart-school And Good Teachers Will Do That For You-but Wisdom Is Something Altogether Different. Wisdom Can Be Gathered In Your Downtime. Wisdom That Can Change The Very Course Of Your Life Will Come From The People You Are Around, The Books You Read, And The Things You Listen To Or Watch On Radio Or Television.

Everybody Wants To Make A Difference, But Nobody Wants To Be Different. And You Simply Cannot Have One Without The Other.

The Longer You've Known Someone- The More History There Is Between You- The Longer It Will Take To Establish In Their Mind That You Have Truly Changed. Remember, Forgiveness Is An Altogether Different Thing From Trust Or Respect. Forgiveness Is About The Past. Trust And Respect Are About The Future. Forgiveness Will Be In The Hands Of Others And Cna Be Given To You, But Trust And Respect Are In Your Own Hands And Must Be Earned.

When I Was 19 Years Old, Both Of My Parents Died In The Same Year; My Mom Of Cancer And My Dad In A Car Accident. Through The Next Two Or Three Years And A Series Of Bad Decisions - All My Own, I Might Add - I Ended Up Literally Homeless, Before That Was Even A Word. I Even Slept Occasionally Under A Pier On The Gulf Coast.

Most People Think It Takes A Long Time To Change. It Doesn’t. Change Is Immediate! Instantaneous! It May Take A Long Time To Decide To Change…but Change Happens In A Heartbeat!
