“It is not he who begins well that is perfect. It is he who ends well who is approved in God’s sight.” ~Saint Basil the Great. In life as in sports, it’s not how you start, but how you finish! And every experience along the way, even supposed failures, are opportunities to learn and grow!

My New Year’s resolutions. No more FOMO, and no more comparing myself to others. “Every one who breathes, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work. We are not sent into this world for nothing; we are not born at random; . . . God … More No More FOMO!

“The more you trust God, the happier you will be…The great spiritual masters tell us that the path to both happiness and holiness is found in fidelity to the duty of the present moment. If you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves. Be faithful to the duty … More Take care of the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves

Proverbs 30: 8, “Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me just enough to satisfy my needs (a.k.a. …only my daily bread…)”After our needs are satisfied, consider what we can share with the poor.
