Blame is the coward’s solution to his fear of accountability.

Ignorance is the belief that the inevitable will not show up.

The ‘gods’ that do us the greatest harm are the gods we deny having.

The reason placing blame repeatedly fails to work is that I repeatedly place it on everyone else instead of where it actually belongs.

To incessantly blame others for my shortcomings is cowardice borne of fear, fed by fear, and haunted by fear. To be steadfastly accountable for my shortcomings is bravery borne of God, fed by God, and blessed by God.

To recklessly excuse a failure is to believe that I’ve effectively erased it from the story of my life, when I’ve actually imprinted it in indelible ink.

To claim that every staircase goes up means that we’re probably living out our lives in the basement of denial.

Do I forget, or do I refuse to remember?

What people want to hear are often the things that soothe them against what they need to hear.
