HE WHO HAS THE MOST FUN AT THE
CHECKERED FLAG WINS!
WORDS FOR TODAY

I feel like God has a plan for all of us.  I don't think that God's only plan for me is to help race fans get to the races with the least amount of trouble.  I reach many people with this website.  I have been thinking about starting this page for awhile. Some days this page maybe religious, some days it maybe about attitude and some days it maybe about life.  Some days I will write it and some days I will simply put a phrase here from other people that inspire me.  Hopefully, all days it will helpful to some one.  I hope all of you get something from it at some time.

TODAY'S MESSAGE:  Change
Some one once told me something that I think is very true and important; "If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got."   So many times we are not happy with what is going on in our lives but we continue living the same. How silly for us to expect a different result!  I also refer to this thinking as "going around the same mountain".  We keep ending up in a place we do not want to be but we head back off around the same mountain and then wham.  We end up in the same place and can't understand why! 

We need to have faith like Peter did we he stepped off the boat and started to walk on the water after Jesus.  Maybe Peter was the only one who walked on the water because he was the only one that got out of the boat!  If something is happening to you in your life that is making you unhappy...THEN MAKE A CHANGE!   Yes change can be scary but it is better to take that leap of faith then to live a life that isn't making you happy  Below are some quotes about change - Jo Ann

"If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this forever. Is that good news?"  Douglas Noel Adams 

"When you blame others, you give up your power to change." Douglas Noel Adams

"When a man you like switches from what he said a year ago, or 4 years ago, he is a broad-minded person who has courage enough to change his mind with changing conditions. When a man you don't like does it, he is a liar who has broken his promises." Franklin P. Adams

"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day."

"There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain." Æschylus

"The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder." Æschylus

"True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance." Akhenaton

"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to." George Herbert Allen

"That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along." Lisa Alther

"Remember: It is 10 times harder to command the ear than to catch the eye." Duncan Maxwell Anderson

He who rejects change is the architect of decay.  The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.  ~Harold Wilson

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.  ~Mary Engelbreit

It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory.  ~W. Edwards Deming 

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.  ~Anatole France

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.  ~Victor Frankl

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure.  But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it.  Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.  ~Shunryu Suzuki

The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.  ~Henry Miller

Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.  ~Robert C. Gallagher

If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change.  If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change.  ~John A. Simone, Sr.
