God created the law of free will, and God created the law of cause and effect. And he himself will not violate the law. We need to be thinking less in terms of what God did and more in terms of whether or not we are following those laws.

Every aspect of life is pre-programmed to rise to its highest creative possibility. We don't have to make that happen, but we have to allow it to happen. And that itself is the struggle of life: resisting the resistant mind.

The people who have achieved more than you, in any area, are only a half step ahead of you in time. Bless them and praise their gifts, and bless and praise your own. The world would be less rich without their contributions, and it would be less rich without yours. There's more than room for everyone; in fact, there's a need for everyone.

In all the huge and amazing and infinitely varied world--there is only one you.

Prayer enables us to transform the world because it transforms us.

Ultimately, my daughter is not going to learn from what I do, not from what I say. For better or for worse. I see that everyday.

If you allow yourself to deepen with midlife, your experience of everything deepens, including your experience of God.
