FOOD FOR THOUGHT

On accountability, Abraham Lincoln said, “You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather is.” The Bible says, “So then, each of us will give an account to God.”  

“Growth is never by mere chance. It is the result of forces working together.” J. C. Penney

“Growing demands a temporary surrender of security. It means giving up familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, and relationships that have lost their meaning.”                                                                                                                  John C. Maxwell

“The historical evidence is that, time and again, the greatest successes come from a series of targeted incremental steps forward that confront, one by one, the full variety of problems [and opportunities] to be addressed. Conversely, the biggest failures come from trying to do too much, too soon… and are likely to do more damage than good and fall short.”       James Surowiecki
