I would suggest that productivity is not based on how much I get done. Rather, it’s based on how much I improve someone’s life as a by-product of getting something done.

What I ‘want’ for my life is often not what I ‘need’ for my life, although I feel that I ‘need’ to talk myself into making it a ‘want.

If life’s bigger than any of us individually or all of us collectively, then there must be something bigger than us to walk us through it.

The definition of living is not based on the number of years spent, but on the degree to which we’ve spent ourselves in the living of them.

Imagination envisions what could be. Reality states what is. And when my journey is shaped by one of these at the exclusion of the other, I will eventually wake up on some road facing the ‘reality’ that I’m far more lost than I could have ‘imagined’.

I don’t wish for a perfect life, for in doing so I will have discarded the tremendous opportunities for great good that lay hidden in the greatest bad.

Because you feel full doesn’t mean that you are.

I expend my days relentlessly attempting to design my life in a manner that is designed to meet the needs in my life. Yet, God did not design life to do that. Rather, He designed life to direct us to Him so that He could do that.

I think that the real magic in life is that we possess enough imagination to be able to create a bit of it.
