Sometimes we can only find ourselves by first losing ourselves.

Some people spend so much time hunting treasure that they fail to see it all around them. It's like sifting through gold to find the silt.

Sometimes we can only find ourselves by first losing ourselves.

. . . Harboring an emotion as powerful as gratitude has power of its own.

Broken vows are like broken mirrors. They leave those who held to them bleeding and staring at fractured images of themselves.

I believe that we were meant to live as social creatures, to reach out and bless each other's lives.

As a boy I heard this story in church. A man was patching a pitched roof of a tall building when he began sliding off. As he neared the edge of the roof he prayed, "Save me, Lord, and I'll go to church every Sunday, I'll give up drinking, I'll be the best man this city has ever known." As he finished his prayer, a nail snagged onto his overalls and saved him. The man looked up to the sky and shouted, "Never mind, God. I took care of it myself." How true of us.
