Zig Ziglar said, “If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.” Goals are the targets we aim for and shoot at. They motivate us to keep moving forward; without them, it is easy to become complacent. Goals are God’s way of keeping us in a growth mindset. If you do not know where […]
William Arthur Ward said, “To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.” Proverbs 29:11 (NIV) Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end. You are going to mess up. That’s right, so you might as well just accept […]
