“Greatness is an unforgiving taskmaster. It demands that I discard all notions of self-preservation, that I lay aside the privilege of this existence and all of the assorted things that this existence affords me, and that in doing so I embrace the understanding that I was given this life for the sole purpose of giving it over to others. And greatness is unforgiving in all of this because greatness can only arise out of all of this.”

“Sometimes life abruptly opens up in ways so vast that it engulfs all of our constructs and theories and beliefs in the swiftness of that single moment. At times such as these, life does nothing less than demand a brutally exacting reconstruction of everything that we’ve expended the raw essence of our lives constructing.”

“Today I felt the first brush of autumn as in these waning days of summer it gently leaned over an expectant horizon. And it is in having lived summer to the fullest that autumn is positioned to fill me to the fullest. And I think that if we would engage all of the differing seasons of our lives in a manner such as this, the appreciation of ‘what was’ would be magnified a hundredfold by the anticipation of ‘what is yet to be.”
