In all things – charity

February 10, 2012 in No More Mondays with 2 Comments

“In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.” 

Often attributed to St Augustine, popularized by Richard Baxter in 1679 and frequently quoted by John Wesley

I think this could be helpful as a model for marriages, families, churches, communities, and nations.

This is a guest post by Darren Hardy, author of ”The Compound Effect—Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success.”  Darren is an accomplished entrepreneur, publisher and editorial director of SUCCESS magazine. He’s a peak performance expert and popular keynote speaker.  I regularly tell attendees at our live events that if you had to choose one resource for your success, I would tell you to get SUCCESS magazine.  I asked Darren if I could run this entire post – I think it’ s a message we need to hear.  If you want to guest post on this blog, check out the guidelines here.

During the media tour launching The Compound Effect, CNN asked me to submit an article for their website. So, what do I have to say to CNN? Below is the article I submitted to my PR team.

Money comes in a package

What’s in your book?

“We will open the book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”  ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

By now you’ve already written on that first page.  And yes, that book is called Opportunity.  You are now writing the book of your life – this chapter just happens to be 2012.  Make it something exciting to read – something you will look back on with pride and a sense of fully living out your calling in life.
