“Do what lasts, get around to everything else.”

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I’m more afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.

You can quit anything on a Thursday.

Courage doesn’t mean we’re not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren’t controlled by our doubts.

Live your life like you’re exactly who Jesus thinks you are.

I don’t know every step I’m supposed to take. I think Jesus just wants me to take the next step.

A hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That’s what I want my life to be all about – full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.

Words people say not only have a shelf life but have the ability to shape life.

Whimsy doesn’t care if you are the driver or the passenger; all that matters is that you are on your way.

We’re all amateurs when it comes to love. Don’t be too hard on each other.

Sometimes we ask God for help and God gives us hope, not because it’s different, but because it’s the same.

God made beauty so we’d know how He felt about us.

Stand up like a mountain; have faith like a rock; love like an avalanche

Love has the kind of power criticism only wishes it had.

Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It’s about going to extremes and expressing the bright hope that life offers us.

As the music played over the speakers and the waterfall in the pool filled the silence around us, I knew that without a doubt I had just been ruined.

The work that the kids saw around them was so odious, so boring, so worthless that they came to regard WORK as the only dirty four-letter word in the English language.

We don’t look at each other [in the car], but instead do so only when we want to. We’re allowed to look around without appearing rude. We have a big screen in front of us and side views.

The older I get, the more I realize that you don’t have to be around people you don’t want to be around, and you don’t have to be in a situation you don’t want to be in. You have the power to rise up and leave.

The guys who stick around are the smartest guys and the guys who are the most self-driven. You have to have drive. The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.

I’ve always been supremely confident in my abilities. But the biggest confidence boost is when the guys around you, you feel like they have confidence in you.

I sing around the house, in the shower

Observe the world around you everything you do, and especially everything you hate to do.
