THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER !!!
PAGE 2 FRSA FLASH
Life is made up of choices. These choices will either keep us locked into a comfort-zone or
they will cause us to push out the limitations of our secure place. People often get in the
habit of living life the "way it's always been done." They fear the new. They refuse to break
out of mediocrity.
Others are willing to risk experiencing new ideas, new activities and new insights. These peo-
ple continue to grow. Their world becomes larger. Their lives are filled with new experiences.
These people usually grow into the person they were created to be.
Charles "Tremendous" Jones was recognized as one of the top twenty speakers in the 20th
century. Among other things, he was a member of Gideon's and Christian Businessman's
Committee. He is known for the following quote. "You are the same today that you are going
to be five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the
books you read."
Become who you were created to be. Refuse to remain who you have been in the past. Get
around people who are growing. Read books that give you fresh new vision. Commit to work
through any discomfort and become who you really are!
