How to close the gap between the high ideals we hold in mind and the living truth of how we act in life.
Being humble doesn't mean being nobody, it just means being no more of a somebody than you ought to be.
Making something of beauty out of what we do have, incomplete as it may be.
The root of impatience is the erroneous belief that we are the masters of our fates.
We seek honor, yet withhold giving honor to others. In truth, we've got it backwards.
Generosity is a movement of the soul that erupts when you are pierced by the recognition of your direct connection to another soul.
Stretching ourselves in our caring for each other is central to our spiritual job description.
Surrounded by a culture that celebrates self-indulgence, the real hero is one who practices self-restraint.
Tranquility doesn't spell the end of our spiritual struggles; it's the inner quality that equips us to handle them.
Once you recognize that the world is not meant to be comfortable, certain, or easy, but rather an ideal training ground for the soul, trust in God can begin to take root.
