The reporter saw before him a 95 year-old-man who was still the greatest cellist who had ever lived, and he had to ask the question. “You, Pablo Casals, are recognized as having more talent than any other cellist…yet I understand that you still practice six hours a day.
Why?”
“Because I believe I am still making progress.”
And that is why you and I must continue to make resolutions and practice at this business of living because that is what it is all about…making progress…learning… achieving…improving… never quitting.
Work at making a better life rather than making better excuses.
It is simple, yet not simple at all….HARD but achievable.
How?
Don’t put doors where there should be walls and walls where there should be doors.
Be a giver rather than a taker. Generosity gives you a spiritual backbone that selfishness will never give you.
Get in the habit of doing the right thing the first time rather than putting it off until some time down the road.
When you are wrong, admit it.
You might as well…most everyone you know has already admitted it for you.

QUOTE FROM TOMORROW’S ONE A DAY BLOG entitled BIG DEVIL, LITTLE DEVIL
Inspired by C.S. Lewis’ book, Screwtape Letters, I have expanded a conversation that takes place between two devils.
One is the big devil himself and because it is not easy being a devil, what with all the devilish little nuances always in play, he says with a malicious smile written across his face, “Little devil, I want to be sure you understand how important it is that you allow your victims to think great thoughts, espouse noble ideas, and even attend church regularly, but never actually do anything.
