Run in such a way that you may win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teddy Roosevelt, April 23, 1910, Sorbonne in Paris &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><em>\u201c<\/em>It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.<em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">May 2021 be filled with visions of greatness followed by the efforts of zealots. Do not resolve to do better or be better, just get up every morning and do it. Dreams are for those who sleep, vision are for those who achieve. Organization don&#8217;t publish dream statements, they publish their vision statement. Visions are filled with plans, and tasks, and goals. Remember that true greatness is not about today, or tomorrow, or next week, or next year; it is about a life worth living. Do not measure yourself by others, but measure yourself by the potential God gave you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May you look back on 2021 to see that you accomplished the impossible, or at least the unbelievable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>Proverbs 14:23-24<\/strong>&nbsp;All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.&nbsp;The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May you look back on 2021 to see that you accomplished the impossible, or at least the unbelievable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[12,28,17,32,31],"class_list":["post-1186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-motivation","tag-christian","tag-new-years","tag-peace","tag-vision","tag-work"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
