Potent Quotables: Birthday Special

"As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do." -Andrew Carnegie

Yes today is my birthday and I often grow nostalgic and insightful on my birthdays. I think of the years passed and what it is I have accomplished what I have to show for it. At times this has been depressing and frustrating and at other times encouraging and joyous, but the bottom line is that I feel it important to take stock every once in a while to make sure you are moving in the right direction. At this point I am keenly aware that intentions mean little and actions do indeed speak louder than words (for better or worse). God has a plan for you and it is important for you to be aware of that and understand that it is your plan to seek, it is yours to pursue. I am keenly convicted that it is important to have purpose, to stand up, to understand that life is about more than just "me". Maybe it is good to sometimes pay attention in our own lives to what it is we have done and give account to our selves and make prayerful adjustments.
