When I was a youngster, a lady in our small church used to stand up and “testify.” She always ended her testimony by saying, “I’m just gonna keep on a keepin’ on!” That lady had very little formal education and had virtually no material wealth. She lived in the poorest section of my little town and did not even have running water in the run-down little shack she called home. But that lady understood a crucial principle of life: To keep our balance, we must keep moving. As for me, “I’m just gonna keep on a keepin’ on!”
...What are you putting off until another day or another year? My advice: DO IT NOW. You may not have another day or another year. Today is your day! Live it now, to the fullest!
...Think about it. It is impossible for you to do more than what you can, with whatever you have, wherever you are!
So don’t wait. Start today and everyday. “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

Think about it. How many people truly tell the truth? Sorry, I couldn’t hear you. How many?
Serious thought, reflection and examination reveals the unvarnished truth: far fewer than we might first guess or assume.
Be an exception. Tell the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth!
...I respect and enjoy creative people. I have high admiration for their passion, energy and for what they contribute to society. I also know that absolutely no one, including even the most highly creative people, are “self-made” or became who they are all by themselves. We all build on those who came before us and those who have taught, led, mentored and influenced us along the way. Behind and within the most creative are many, many sources of inspiration, education and influence.
...Why not do both and thereby substantially multiply your impact? Be a positive, inspirational source of light – and intentionally surround yourself with those whose light you wish to reflect.
