DALANEL Continues to Fight for Good

DALANEL has always been a weapon of mine to counter the negativity of the world. I try to bring a positive spin to the world.

Currently, these are the ways I attack:

  • Monday Motivation
  • Tuesday Testimony
  • Wednesday Word
  • Thursday Thoughts
  • Fearless Friday

The doer alone learneth. Friedrich Nietzsche

“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.” Walker Anderson
