Landon Saunders is one of the keynote speakers at this year's ACU Lectureship. I would love to be there to hear what he will say. Landon leads a nonprofit organization called Heartbeat Life and frequently speaks under the general theme, "Living a life that loves to happen". Here is a sample:
---------------------------

To win as a person means living for something that time and circumstances cannot destroy.

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them make them."
--G. B. Shaw

You can win in spite of circumstances. You are greater than any circumstances you will ever face. What does this mean?

This means you don't live "if only"-
If only I had married someone else…
If only I had a different job…
If only I had been born rich…
If only I had been handsome (beautiful)…

This means you don't live "as soon as"-
As soon as I get my degree…
As soon as I get the promotion…
As soon as the kids leave home…
As soon as I retire…

This means you don't live "what if"-
What if my marriage breaks up…
What if I lose my job…
What if I fail…

It means you have the courage to live now.

"Courage is the human virtue that counts most-courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have."
--Robert Frost
