Make Yourself a Victory List

When looking for evidence that supports why you should believe in you, make out your own victory list. The items listed do not have to include things such as “Developed a cure for cancer.” List the simple everyday victories like “Took a friend to the doctor.”

Unfortunately, our human nature is such that if I were to ask you to recall your most embarrassing incident in the last two weeks, you might be hardpressed to decide which incident to share. However, if I asked you to share your greatest victory in the last two weeks, you might have difficulty coming up with one. This is human nature – to hang onto the failures and forget the victories. To combat this natural tendency, you need to make a victory list.

This list in not a “brag” list. As a matter of fact, no one should see it – but you. This list has nothing to do with conceit. As Zig Ziglar often says, “Conceit is a weird disease that makes everyone sick except the one who has it!” This list is to help you remember you are a person of worth.

This is not a “comparison” list. You do not build yourself by comparing to others. When you make positive or negative comparisons, you are on dangerous ground. To build a healthy self-image, you can make only one comparison: Compare your actions to your ability.

Remember, success is not measured by how you perform compared to others. You might have twice their ability – or half their ability. Success – real success – is doing with the ability God gave you. You should also have a victory list for your friends and family. Why not keep a running record of occasions when you “catch them doing something right?” If you do, everyone will be better. When you start concentrating on your victories, you will develop a benevolent world view; you will be looking for good in people and circumstances around you.

Add life insurance to your victory list. Get with an SPJST agent or SPJST Regional General Agent (RGA) today to make sure your life insurance policy is enough and put the children on your victory list.

Lodge 160, San Angelo Youth Club Participates in Wall, America Parade

Lodge 160, San Angelo Youth Club participated in the Fourth of July parade in Wall, America! Kids and parents decorated three ATVs that they rode in the parade. They all had a fun time! Ryan did a great job acquiring the ATVs, getting candy, and other articles for the kids to throw to those watching along the parade route. The parade was a huge success and the largest we’ve had!

Youth participating in the parade were Lexi Slaughter, Bree Gallant, Sterling Schwartz, Nolan Jansa, Carson Craddock, Luke Jarisch, Caitlynn Jansa, Stella Craddock, Sophia Jarisch, Parker Schwartz, and Brenson Craddock. Adults driving the ATVs were Ryan Jansa, Springer Jansa, Natalie Craddock, Cara Jarisch, and Brandon Jarisch. District Four Director Bobby Davis provided some of the items for the youth to throw in the parade. It was appreciated. — Submitted by Sandra Jansa, President
