Money Matters: January 2018
By Chuck Dudley
Setting Your Intentions for a Great 2018
The calendar has turned one more time. The eldest of us are reminded what our elders have always said……that the longer we live the faster time seems to go. It surely seems to be the truth these days.
As many do, I have a daily thought wheel that offers sayings and wisdom for the day.
For this January, it’s good to start with positivity and thoughtfulness.
Here are a lot of the sayings and wisdom I like, and maybe you will be able to find one that fits for you and helps you set your intention for 2018.
- •I’d rather be a hammer than a nail.
- •The Extra Mile is always the loneliest
- •The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today

- •Plan ahead, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark

- •Laugh. Take time for thought. Be moved to tears. That’s a pretty good day
- •There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life

- •A real leader faces the music even when he doesn’t like the tune
- •The rules for parents are but three………Love, Limit, and let them be!
- •Don’t regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.
- •When you meet a man, you judge him by his clothes; when you leave, you judge him by his heart
- •What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?
- •It’s extremely difficult to lead further than you have gone yourself
- •Anger does as much damage to the vessel it is stored in as it does to anything it is poured upon
- •In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock
- •Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily
- •You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, or Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town
- •A woman who has never seen her husband fishing doesn’t know what a patient man she married!
