“What does purpose mean? It means the deepest desire for our short lives to mean something. . . . To speak a language of purpose is to return to first principles and to be able to answer, in plain English, the plain questions of Why? Why should we chip in to help someone else? Why should we defer gratification? Why should we care about the long term?

“High SQ demands the most intense personal integrity. It demands that we stand open to experience, that we recapture our ability to see life and others afresh, as though through the eyes of a child, to learn how to tap into our intuition and visualization, as a powerful means of using our inner knowing to “make a difference.” It demands that we cease to seek refuge in what we know and constantly explore and learn from what we do not know. It demands that we live the questions rather than the answers.” KnowsMeanChildrenEyeDifferencesAbilityAnswersPowerfulKnowingIntegrityDemandIntuitionCeaseIntenseMaking A DifferenceRefugeVisualizationThrough The EyesAbility To SeePersonal IntegrityEyes Of A ChildThrough The Eyes Of A Child Author:Danah Zohar
“Feeble are we? Yes, without God we are nothing. But what, by faith, every man may be, God requires him to be. This is the only Christian idea of duty. Measure obligation by inherent ability! No, my brethren, Christian obligation has a very different measure. It is measured by the power that God will give us, measured by the gifts and possible increments of faith. And what a reckoning will it be for many of us, when Christ summons us to answer before Him under the law, not for what we are, but for what we might have been.” MenGivingMayHas BeensIdeasDifferentMightChristianLawChristAbilityAnswersDutyEvery ManGods WillObligationInherentMight Have BeenBrethrenWithout GodReckoning Book:Sermons for the new life Source: Sermons for the new life
“To determine whether or not you have the ingredients to be charismatic, answer the following questions: What are your real feelings about who you are? What do you believe in? Do you have goals or a mission in life? Do you project optimism? Do others turn to you for leadership? Noncharismatic people spend their lives auditioning for others and hoping they'll be accepted.
