Thoughts at Mid-Winter
This week’s devotions were written before “Groundhog Day”; I am pretty certain we will have six more weeks of winter whether Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. In the bleakness of midwinter, generating energy can sometimes be tough. Maybe these thoughts at mid-winter can prove helpful.
“He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little;
He who would accomplish much must sacrifice much.”
--James Allen
One hundred years ago a pioneer of the self-help movement died. The story of James Allen is a most touching story and I would encourage you to read about him. His father came to America after economic woes forced him to leave England and two days after his arrival he was murdered. James had to quit school and find work. Eventually his industry led him to writing. His best known work is probably As A Man Thinketh.
Meditate on today’s quote. What insights might you gain about self?
