We are human less by virtue of our ideal goals than by the vice of our inferiority.

We approach people the same way we approach our cars. We take the poor kid to a doctor and ask, "What's wrong with him, how much will it cost, and when can I pick him up?"

It is impossible to see the angel unless you first have a notion of it.

Each person enters the world "called," like an oak tree, to fulfill their soul’s agenda.

...you find your genius by looking in the mirror of your life. Your visible image shows your inner truth, so when you're estimating others, what you see is what you get. It therefore becomes critically important to see generously, or you will get only what you see; to see sharply, so that you discern the mix of traits rather than a generalized lump; and to see deeply into dark shadows, or else you will be deceived.

So when you consider the archetypal, historical, and cultural background of whatever you do, it gives you a sense that your occupation can be a calling and not just a job.

Follow the lead of your symptoms, for there’s usually a myth in the mess, and a mess is an expression of soul.
