Some people show enormous resistance to modifying even a fraction of themselves. They're not about to shift the way they think or what they think they know. They simply expect others to get with the program--to adjust their mind-set and fall into their way of thinking. How ignorant for any one of us to assume that we have a monopoly on right perspective and no one else holds even a piece of the puzzle. And how arrogant to just demand that people change for us without ever making the effort to know them as human beings or understand where they're coming from. I wonder if being angrily shouted at or arrogantly debated with has ever swayed a single person? Are human hearts moved by being ridiculed and mocked? When people fling accusations with the presumption of knowing another person's intentions, what possible outcome could they be hoping for? Who would ever move to their enemy's camp under such treatment? I really believe that we won't get anywhere, that no healing or break-through can occur apart from developing actual relationships with one another. As much as I love Twitter, Twitter feuds aren't going to work. Actually connecting requires true face-to-face time.

We were created to live passionately--all of us, no matter our personality type or circumstance. The human heart was made to swell and jump and stir...It took me a while to figure out what makes my heart feel that way. But that is perhaps one of the most crucial things to know about ourselves.

For people with a winner mentality, there's a positive waiting for you no matter the outcome. For those with a loser mentality, if there's a negative outcome anywhere along the way, you perceive that you've lost. That's why I always say winning and losing isn't an event; it's a mindset.

The other thing about the presence of fear in the process of decision making is that it can severely cloud your judgment. Fear dressed up as wisdom provides poor counsel. It lures you into thinking that if you will just trust it, it will afford you some level of control. But guess what? You're not in control.

When an uncovered passion sits dormant inside of you and then someone calls it out, all of a sudden that's all you can think about. It's like a wildfire being lit by a spark, and the aftermath is all-consuming.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
