Our deepest human need is not material at all. Our deepest need is to be seen.

The way I see it, we teach our children through modeling.

When the heart is pierced, there is pain, yes, but also an invitation to a greater becoming.

The last thing we should do is allow ourselves to be infantilized by a counterfeit version of enlightenment.

Imagine how differently American business would function were our faith in the power of goodness to replace our faith in the power of money. Huge industries would no longer make billions of dollars on activities that diminish the well-being and safety of our children, our health, and our environment, on the pretext that it's "just business." To put money before goodness is idolatry, and the laws of the universe ensure that in the end all idols will fall.

Think of your work life therefore, not as separate from your spiritual life but as central to your spiritual life. Whatever your business, it is your ministry.

The choice to be used as an instrument of love, right here, right now, is a choice for personal empowerment.
