Successful people do daily what other people do occasionally. Fear is the mind killer. Thinking is the enemy of perfection. Bleed in training so you sweat in war. It's the fire that refines. These are some of my favorite sayings. But they are just sayings. I use them to motivate myself and to stay on course for my goals. In some circumstances they would also probably be considered trite. I use them and repeat them to myself often. But I don't go around telling them to other people all the time.
Until real life happens. Want to read a true story about fear, accomplishment, being refined by fire and coming out the other end in one piece?

ReplyDeleteRead your Sister's story, so glad everything worked out for her and her family! Primary Children's is such a good hospital. My nephew had his heart surgery there, top notch.
