The purpose of God's blessing is to enable you to be a great channel of blessing to others.

G. I. GurdjieffAgain and again the Sermon on the Mount calls and challenges us to a life of radical discipleship. Note: when Jesus says 'Blessed are the . . . . merciful, peacmakers', and so on, he doesn't just mean that they themselves are blessed.

Can it alter the cause, or unravel the mystery of human events?
Tryon EdwardsWhen God moves, everybody will be blessed. If something is of the flesh, everybody will have a sick feeling.

Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.
R. Buckminster FullerWithout approval and without scorn, but carefully studying the sentences word by word, one should trace them in the Discourses and verify them by the Discipline. If they are neither traceable in the Discourses nor verifiable by the Discipline, one must conclude thus: 'Certainly, this is not the Blessed One's utterance; this has been misunderstood by that bhikkhu - or by that community, or by those elders, or by that elder.' In that way, bhikkhus, you should reject it.
Gautama BuddhaLetters crossing in the post, unfamiliar tunes heard three times in one day, the way that blows of fate descend upon the same bowed shoulders, and the beams of good fortune glow perpetually upon the blessed.
