President’s Day

“Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.”

George Washington

The other day in looking through quotes from past presidents I was so inspired by these wise men, that it was hard to choose just one to share today. These quotes got me thinking about our country, who we are as a nation and where we began.

I am inspired in knowing that our forefathers knew we have to take care of one another and in the knowledge that as many things have changed, that need has not. We are our brother’s keepers and George Washington knew that, “Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.”

Happy President’s Day!

Happy President’s Day!

“I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.”

Abraham Lincoln

I hope that today finds you celebrating our great nation, our freedom and forefathers with a day off of work. Reading through the many quotes by the people who made our country great was a fun and inspiring exercise. I think all of the Presidents that we celebrate and honor today did their very best. At the end, isn’t that all that really matters?

Simply doing your very best.

Charity Matters Quotes February 16, 2015

President’s Day

“Believe that you can and you are half way there!”

Theodore Roosevelt

Happy President’s Day!

I was recently asked a question about leadership and when I recognized it in my life. To be honest, the question took me a bit by surprise and required some thought. After giving my answer, I reflected upon a trait that many of us rarely recognize, the gift of leadership.

In a world where we all desperately seek followers, who are our leaders? These are words I often share with the thousands of students who will come through the non-profit leadership organization I have the privilege of working for.

This President’s Day ask yourself the same question, are you a leader or a follower? Be thankful for all of the wonderful leaders we have had in order to enjoy the freedom we all celebrate today.

Happy Presidents Day!

Happy Presidents Day!

In honor of Presidents Day, I thought a quote from Abraham Lincoln would be a fitting tribute.

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.

Even Abe knew Charity Matters.
