“While the opportunity to improve yourself and your situation is a great thing, our striving to build perfect lives seems to have morphed into perfectionism so focused on itself that we forget about others in the world. We work so hard to build the ultimate luxury sedan, to embody society's standard of beauty, and to achieve historical scientific breakthroughs that we conveniently forget our family members in other parts of the world who must walk miles each day in their only set of clothing for the opportunity to go to school.” LoveGodChristianityMindfulnessThird WorldFirst World Book:Faith Postures: Cultivating Christian Mindfulness Source: Faith Postures: Cultivating Christian Mindfulness
“What is it about our expectations, plans, or ideas that hold such sway over us? It is as if we've written a script for a play of our lives that runs about a month ahead of actual life; if reality varies from what we've created in our minds we disengage or pout.” RealityChristianityAcceptanceMindfulnessPouting Book:Faith Postures: Cultivating Christian Mindfulness Source: Faith Postures: Cultivating Christian Mindfulness
