864 STRONG – Gunny’s Blog / Monday 12.12.2022

864 STRONG – YOU MATTER.

“Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!”
-Luke 1:30-33

The two most joyous times of the year are Christmas morning and the end of school.
-Alice Cooper

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine they see all day.
-Just Smile

Is my life all about ME or HIM?

Small, minded people rarely have ideas, just a litany of excuses and complaints.
-Your Friend

Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.
-Ronald Reagan

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
-Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1981

Quote from Coach Glassman: “Chase your weakness.”
Don’t avoid working on the things that you suck at. Pick one or two of them and add them into your warm-up.

Useless fact for the day: Ever wonder about the string on a box of animal crackers? Introduced around Christmas in 1902, the string was intended to be used to hang the cracker boxes on your Christmas tree

To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.

Taking on too much of other people’s drama is just a poor excuse for not taking ownership and control over your own life.
-Focus on Your Life.

If you take everything personally, you’ll remain offended for the rest of your life. What other people do is often because of them, not you.
