Sometimes our arms are so full with the burdens we carry that it hinders our view of the load those around us are staggering beneath.

Feelings can be like wild animals-we underrate how fierce they are until we've opened their cage

Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.

We humans are born egocentric. The sky thunders and children believe that God is mad at them for something they've done - parents divorce and children believe it's their fault for not being good enough. Growing up means putting aside our egocentricity for truth. Still, some people cling to this childish mind-set. As painful as their self-flagellation may be, they'd rather believe their crises are their fault so they can believe they have control. In doing so they make fools and false gods of themselves.

Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity.
