If I’m not the problem, there is no solution. I first heard the above phrase about 26 years ago when I was sitting in a 12-Step meeting trying to figure out how to not drink or drug one day at a time. It is the underlying meaning of The Serenity Prayer. “God grant me the…
More Humility*
It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. ~Unknown P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Luke 14:11, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Want to Will*
The best way to turn average into excellence is to speak “will†instead of “want.â€Â ~JJM Years ago I can remember having this vision for our business and it was all about wanting to become one of the most highly regarded and respected businesses in our industry. In that moment, I decided to turn that…
Acceptance*
“Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.” ~William James When I stopped living in the problem and began living in the answer, the problem went away. From that moment on, I have not had a single compulsion to drink. And acceptance is the answer to all…
A Better World*

More Humility*

P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com James 4:6, “But he gives more grace. Therefore…
The Advantage
“To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.” ~Buddha Sometimes I feel guilty because of an advantage I have on many people. The advantage comes from screwing my life up so bad twenty-six years ago that I was laying flat on my back with nowhere…
