“Apologizing makes me feel vulnerable. And strong. Expressing gratitude makes me feel vulnerable. And strong. Maybe there’s something to this vulnerability/strength connection, eh?”

Enthusiasm is the DNA of making things happen.

Make generosity part of your growth strategy.

Admit to your contentment so it can tip over into joy.

If knowledge is power, then curiosity is the muscle.

I know how to go, go, go. Stopping, I’ve learned is the stuff of mastery.

The best place to begin is always with gratitude.

Your desires will very often be contradictory and so will your strengths. All of our contradictions make us whole.

Speak the truth. Affirm your desire. Declare your intentions. Recall your successes. Your psyche will believe you. Your body will feel you. Your Soul will thank you for the straight-up communication.

Value inner attainement as much as you value outer attainment.

The journey has to feel the way you want the destination to feel.

The secret to success: Do what you say you’re going to do.

The surest sign that you’re working with the life-affirming kind of discipline, rather than the spirit-depressing kind, is that you don’t complain very much about doing what it takes.

You will fail. At some point. More than once. Guaranteed. Proceed anyway.

Start leaving what you want to leave. Your future is waiting.

Someone you haven’t met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

More often than not, it is what you are rather than what you say that will bring an unbeliever to Christ. This, then, is the ultimate apologetic. For the ultimate apologetic is: your life.

Successful evangelism involves not only harvesting, but sowing and watering, too. We must never think that because a nonbeliever remained unconvinced by our case that our apologetic has failed. For one encounter is not the end of the story.

We are fighting for an unapologetic movement for economic, social, and racial justice in the United States.

Self Love is not apologizing for taking care of yourself.

Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.

Every relationship has tough days. Don’t let the grudge last. Be the first to try to make things right and stop waiting for an apology.

I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

Get rid of the idea that your healing is tied to someone else’s apology.
