You have a "turn" every time you have an opportunity to choose. But most of us only see a tiny fraction of the choices we have.

Jesus is mysterious not just because of what we don't know about him, but because of what we do know about him.

Failure is not an event, but rather a judgment about an event. Failure is not something that happens to us or a label we attach to things. It is a way we think about outcomes.

Sloth is the failure to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done - like the kamikaze pilot who flew seventeen missions.

Failure does not shape you; the way you respond to failure shapes you.

Normally, if someone's legacy will outlast their life, it's apparent when they die. On the day when Alexander the Great, or Caesar Augustus, or Napoleon, or Socrates, or Muhammad died, their reputations were immense. When Jesus died, his tiny, failed movement appeared clearly at an end.

Spiritual transformation is not a matter of trying harder, but of training wisely.
