Deep Thoughts

Several months ago I learned the power of the word HONOR from a decorated Marine and honorable friend. At the time, we were talking about many things and pushing each other into deep thoughts. Here is a little insight into our conversation...
Deep thoughts
The greatest handicap
FEAR

The best day
TODAY

The easiest thing to do
SEE FAULT

Most useless asset
PRIDE

The greatest mistake
GIVING UP

Greatest stumbling block
EGOTISM

The greatest comfort
WORK WELL DONE

Most disagreeable person
THE COMPLAINER

Worst bankruptcy
LOSS OF ENTHUSIASM

Greatest need
COMMON SENSE

Meanest feeling
ENVY

Best gift
FORGIVENESS

Greatest knowledge
GOD

Three gifts from GOD
FAITH, HOPE, LOVE

What is the difference between PRIDE and HONOR? There are good things that come with pride, but sometimes there is confusion with this word. What about using the word honor instead. A great way to use the word honor is to use the word as an adjective: HONORABLE. There is no confusion about how someone should conduct themselves when using this word. Instead of simply having honor, we challenge you to be honorable in your actions.
