Being Proactive…

by Peter Starr

I love to see people taking responsibility for their actions. Some things we cannot change but all we can do is do the best with what we have been given. The following comes from the book “Successful Christian Ministry” by Mark Conner.

“We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have.

We cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it.

We cannot control life’s difficult moments, but we can choose to make life less difficult.

We cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds.

Too often, we try to choose and control things we cannot.

Too seldom, we choose to control what we can…our attitude.”

What can you do?

Are you making the most with what you have been given?

Would the word proactive be used by your peers in describing you?

We cannot change our past but I believe we can change our future!
