“What toil we must endure, what fatigue, while we are attempting to climb hills and the summits of mountains! What, that we may ascend to heaven! If you consider the promised reward, what you endure is less. Immortality is given to the one who perseveres; everlasting life is offered; the Lord promises His Kingdom.” – St. Cyprian of Carthage
Imagine the celestial finish line…it’s worth it!!

“Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense….We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less. The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us.” President Teddy Roosevelt
In business, there can be a lot of fine lines and grey areas, but everyone deserves a “square deal”, an honest brokering with clarity and fairness. This does not take away from being saavy, or shrewd or tenacious or well prepared…it’s a matter of simple justice. God notices and God will bless this effort!!

“To love another person is to see them as God intended them to be.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Before judging or criticizing another soul, try, please try to see that person through the merciful eyes of Jesus…he wants to love that particular soul through you!

“Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.” Charles Dickens
I personally have adopted and “baptized” the Navy Seal’s motto: “All in, all the time…for Christ!”

“Hold the cross high so I may see it through the flames.” St. Joan of Arc
The image of the crucifix and Christ’s desire to embrace his Father’s will is what inspired St. Joan of Arc to embraced her martyrdom. Does the crucifix inspire you?

“Act, and God will act.” St. Joan of Arc
St. Peter had the miraculous catch of fish, not because of his incredible skills, but because he trusted in Christ and cast out the nets when and where Christ asked him.

“You don’t carry in your countenance a letter of recommendation.” Charles Dickens
If you know Christ, and love Christ…it shows, loud and clear!
