If I continually focus on what I don’t have, my life will always be completely empty despite the fact that it’s completely full.

The fact that we can’t see the horizon in front of us is because we’ve focused on the carnage behind us. And if we face backwards long enough, we become convinced that the carnage behind us is the horizon in front of us.

Whatever I ‘align’’ myself with are the very things that will create a ‘line’ into my future.

The shortest route between where I’m at and where I want to go is a straight line. However, if where I want to go in life is where I’m at, a line is unnecessary. In that case, so is just about everything else.

The only thing I have to wait for to change my life is my attitude.

If I missed the sunrise of this day and if I let the sunset slip by unnoticed, I might ask if what captured my attention this day was worth the loss of this day because I can’t think of anything that’s that important.

I must look at the 'nature' of God, not the 'nature' of the challenge. For the former means everything and the latter means nothing.

Too often the spotlight that highlights our successes burns out quickly, while the spotlight that scrutinizes our failures is a long-life bulb.

If I can somehow focus on the pain of not focusing on my pain, I will soon find that pain healed simply because I forced myself to do the exact opposite of what my core humanity demanded I do…I sought to heal the pain of someone else instead.
