Life Thoughts

In life we are to encourage and build up each other; not to discourage and tear down one another.
In life we are to add, not subtract ; to multiply, not divide.
In life we are to leave an enduring impression ; not a careless dent.
In life we are to smooth out the rough roads along the journey; not create new potholes.
In life we are to radiate light into unseen places; not permit unknown fears to dim our radiance.
In life we are to leap in faith; not to limp with doubt.
In life we are to give freely of our time, our love, our resources; not to cling on to them greedily.
In life we are to lift up others; not push them down.
In life we are to move forward through forgiveness ; not grind to a halt mired in bitterness and resentment.
In life we are to reach, to stretch, and to soar; not to slink in fear, held back by mistrust and doubt.
