“I have an unquenchable desire to slow down and find my life going deeper in my walk with Christ. I want to meet him in the depths of my soul, away from the stress and press of everything on top. A relationship with Christ is the key to fulfilling our deepest longings. All of life is about filling the void that sin and separation from him have created within. Filling the emptiness with piles of things, earthly friendships, satisfying experiences, and sensual encounters ultimately proves to achieve less than what we had hoped for. Christ is the only one who fits.” WantSoulLife IsDesireChristSinWalksChristianityAchieveKeysFitProveStressDown AndPressesLongingDepthDeeperSeparationMy SoulSensualEncountersEmptinessSatisfyingVoidFulfillingSlow DownFilling Author:Joseph Stowell

“To experience the satisfaction and enjoyment of success in life, a definitive goal is essential. Many people fail at this vital point. The goal must be definite and specific, not in any sense vague or fuzzy. And to prove attainable, its image needs to be sharpened and resharpened continually, so that it stands out vividly in your thoughts. You must know, at all times, precisely and for certain what it is you want to accomplish and achieve. Strong and organized purposefulness toward a definite objective will focus your powers into a strong motivation in attainment of your goal.” PeopleKnowsWantNeedsMotivationCertainStrongGoalFocusFailingAchieveProveEssentialsSatisfactionAccomplishObjectivesAll TimeEnjoymentOrganizedSuccess In LifeDefiniteVagueStanding OutAttainmentFuzzyPurposefulness Book:Norman Vincent Peale's treasury of courage and confidence Source: Norman Vincent Peale's treasury of courage and confidence

“We can't continue assuming that politics is something which is decided elsewhere by distant leaders in a distant capital. Protest is insufficient too. If people who are willing to put time into demonstrations also prove willing to work on behalf of candidates in local elections - or to become candidates themselves - they will achieve far more. If all of this upheaval provokes more involvement, then we have a slim chance of ending up with more vibrant democracies eventually. The alternative, as you've hinted, is that democracy fails altogether.” PeopleIfsChanceLeaderDemocracyFailingAchieveWillingProveDecidedElectionAssumingLocalsAlternativesCandidatesProtestElsewhereProvokingBehalfInvolvementDemonstrationInsufficientSlimUpheaval Author:Anne Applebaum
