Caring about others, running the risk of feeling, and leaving an impact on people brings happiness.

There is a Jewish notion that holiness is found with other people. To understand what life really is, one has to share it.

The small choices and decisions we make a hundred times a day add up to determining the kind of world we live in.

We don't have to be afraid of dying because it's not really death that scares us. We are afraid of not having lived.

God is the light shining in the midst of darkness, not to deny that there is darkness in the world but to reassure us that we do not have to be afraid of the darkness because darkness will always yield to light. As theologian David Griffin puts in, God is all-powerful, His power enables people to deal with events beyond their control and He gives us the strength to do those things because He is with us.

The circumstances of your life have uniquely qualified you to make a contribution. And if you don't make that contribution, nobody else can make it.

The idea is to find some bit of holiness in everything-food, sex, earning and spending money, having children, conversations with friends. Everything can be seen as a miracle, as part of God's plan. When we can truly see this, we nourish our souls.
