Responsibility

Responsibility has less to do with what you want, and more to do with what you should do. Karen Maloy

Foolishness or Wisdom

“A foolish man (or woman) will cast off all restraints to inflict revenge when the opportunity presents itself; while wisdom knows better.” Karen Maloy

How Important are You?

How Important are You?.  Good words of wisdom to live by

Ignorance and Knowledge

“You cannot reason with or rationalize ignorance; you can however erase it with knowledge.”  Karen Maloy

Age and Wisdom

“I remember when I was in my teenage years and thought that old was anything over 30; however, when I reached the ripe old age of 30, I had enough sense to know that I had to glean from the wisdom of my elders.  Imagine my surprise this morning when I realized that I am now one of them.”   – Karen Maloy

Life Testament

It is a sad testimony to get to the end of your life and realize that the enemy was not your worst enemy but you were. Karen Maloy

Maturity and Responsibility

“Maturity has nothing to do with age. You can be just as immature at the age of 55 as you were at 25, especially if you never learn anything about assuming responsibility.  No one should have to remind you to assume your responsibilities; and if for some reason you can’t, at least be mature enough to face it.  Avoidance is nothing more than burying your head in the sand and pretending that the problem does not exist.” (Excerpt from The Deception of Spiritual Leadership)

Unity of Word and Deed

What matters the most is not in what we say but in what we do.  While we may say all of the right words, if our actions does not coincide with our words, it is null and void.    Karen Maloy

Don’t Trust The Title!

“Just because someone  holds a title or is in a prominent position doesn’t mean that they are qualified but,  infers they possess the foundational tools for success.  According to Murphy’s Law, every man (or woman) rises to their level of incompetence; and what they do with that level makes a world of difference.  A spiritual leader with a position has not arrived, but have just arrived to their next training ground. While it may allow you the responsibility to lead others, it does absolve you of the responsibility of leading yourself.”  (excerpted from “The Deception of Spiritual Leadership” by Karen Maloy)
