3 Quotes That May Or May Not Inspire You

The other day I ran in a 1/2 marathon. I saw a couple of runners that had a shirt that said, basically,
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Ok, I guess it's Phillipians 4:13.
It's not some made-up quote.

The point: Wow, I thought. If I only had a shirt that said that, I could instantly do all things ... like win the lottery?

(There is no dis intended for any church-going friends).

New topic.
Here are 3 quotes, all worth bearing in mind.

I am writing this because I want to share something positive today.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Famous prayer.

The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Steve Young, a famous football player.
This was passed on to me by my friend Gloria. Thanks! Read her blog. Do it now.

And:
Do not think of your fault; still less of others' faults. Look for what is good and strong and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.
John Ruskin, an art critic during the 1800s and overall cool philosopher.

The end.
Have a good Tuesday.
Thanks for reading my little blog.
