Petty things become unimportant when people are impassioned about a purpose higher than self.

It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it.

'Efficient' scheduling and control of time are often counterproductive. The efficiency focus creates expectations that clash with the opportunities to develop rich relationships, to meet human needs, and to enjoy spontaneous moments on a daily basis.

All things are created twice; first mentally; then physically. The key to creativity is to begin with the end in mind, with a vision and a blue print of the desired result.

The fire inside people is like a match; the way to ignite that flame is initially through friction, then other matches are lit through warmth.

You may be good, but what are you good for? You've got to be good for something. You've got to be about some project, some task that requires you to be humble and obedient to the universal principles of service. You've got to live a life of complete and total integrity in order to give this kind of service. This integrity enables you to love other people unconditionally, to be courageous and kind at the same time, because you have integratedness inside your own soul.

Self-awareness involves deep personal honesty. It comes from asking and answering hard questions.
