Values: The Concept Part 2

Life’s up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want. — Marsha Sinetar

Previously on GPMCC – Values:

We of the human race are dreamers. But some are doers.

Some are content to dream, but never do while others not only dream, but do. Those that do often become rich while those that only dream continue to live in their dream world and remain stagnant, and often poor. If not poor, then living from paycheck-to-paycheck, always tight on money, always fearful that some issue may happen to upset the delicate balance of their life. Continue reading

Values: The Concept Part 1

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today. – Pope Paul VI

I’ve been doing a lot of research and study about values, what they are, how they affect us, and how they control us. Continue reading

Value: That is the Question

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

We of the human race are dreamers. But some are doers.

Those that do often become rich while those that only dream continue to live in their dream world and remain stagnant, and often poor.

The Three Keys

“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” – David Brinkley

Why the Tea Party Will Never Die

Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. — George Orwell

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying. — Joan of Arc

Are you rich? If not you should be. This article isn’t about getting rich rather this article is addressed to those who are rich, those who have money already but feel that something is missing from their life. Continue reading
