Because of the craziness, anxiety, fear and stupidity in this world, a resting place is needed.

The hymn writer, Liddie H. Edmunds wrote: "My faith has found a resting place not in device nor creed. I trust the Ever-living One, His wounds for me shall plead. My heart is leaning on the Word, the written Word of God. Salvation by my Savior's name, salvation through His blood. I need no other argument. I need no other plea. It is enough that Jesus died and that He died for me."

Jesus said, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.&nbsp;Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."&nbsp;

As you climb the ladder of success, make sure it is against the right wall.

Career Planning and especially looking for a job is frustrating and complicated. Bolles takes a step by step approach that has endured for decades and is timeless.

“The best and most up-to-date information is not to be found in print or digital; it is to be found in face-to-face conversation with people.”

If something needs to change in your life, find a mission or purpose and serve others.

Bolles suggests three stages for finding a mission:

1. "Seek to stand hour by hour in the presence of God, the One from whom your mission is derived."

stand hour by hour in the presence of God,

2. "Moment by moment, day by day...make this world a better place, following the leading and guiding of God's spirit within you."

make this world a better place

3. "Exercise that talent...your greatest gift, which you most delight to use in the place(s) which God has caused to appeal to you the most and for the purposes which God most needs to be done in the world."

Exercise that talent...your greatest gift,

which God most needs to be done

"Work is the gracious expression of creative energy in the service of others."
