“Honor is like an island, rugged and without a beach; once we have left, we can never return.” Nicholas Boileau
This implies that honor is a part of our reputation, and once we ruin it with a dishonorable act, it is very difficult to get it back.
“All honor’s wounds are self-inflicted.” -Andrew Carnegie
…oh wow. True. No one else can take your honor away.
“What doth it profit a nation if it gains the whole world, but lose its honor?” – Frederick Douglas
If we become prosperous but lose our honor because we cheated or betrayed people along the way, we can not be happy or truly content with ourselves.
We’ll finish our discussion about honor tomorrow. See you then!
I’m thankful for Larry Janesky and team!
I enjoy “Think Daily”! and “Think Daily for Business”!
1 Peter 2 :17-18 This is what the Bible says about honor. This is not easy to live out , but easy left my life a long time ago when I began to follow this book.
Hello from sunny San Diego!
Grateful for Think Daily!
A few of us here just signed on for the SOE. Can’t wait to start the journey! After we watched the Joe Campbell video you suggested, YouTube started another video with Jonah Hill and his therapist Phil Stutz. They talked about working on yourself first, denial, things we avoid, making progress, pushing yourself forward, and how we don’t want to live a wasted life by “avoiding pain”. Phil Stutz shared tools and visual aids he uses to help his patients. It was pretty interesting. Thanks for Think Daily!
Great content Larry, well said and hello!
Hello Larry
