“These early Saints were indeed homeless, but they were not hopeless. Their hearts were broken, but their spirits were strong. They had learned a profound and important lesson. They had learned that hope, with its attendant blessings of peace and joy, does not depend upon circumstance. They had discovered that the true source of hope is faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His infinite Atonement, the one sure foundation upon which to build our lives.” HeartDoeImportantJoySpiritJesusStrongChristLordOur LivesSourceBrokenDependsCircumstancesLessonsBlessingJesus ChristInfiniteFoundationProfoundSaintHopelessHomelessAtonementLord Jesus ChristImportant LessonsPeace And Joy Author:Wilford W.

“You can always find contradictions and hope, in hopeless circumstances, and a sense of redemption in somebody who makes the same mistake, over and over. So far, so good. That's how I put it.” MistakeCircumstancesRedemptionContradictionHopelessSame Mistakes Author:Chris Bauer
“All of the external circumstances and the rude and difficult people we meet, instead of getting angry, upset, or frustrated, we see that we can take them all and use them on the path in a way that actually invigorates and strengthens us, rather than defeats us. It's all very practical advice, and that's why I talk a lot about how to make our daily life into Dharma practice, otherwise it's easy to feel hopeless and helpless.” PeopleWayFeelsUseEasyDifficultPracticePathAdviceCircumstancesAngryDefeatPracticalsUpsetDaily LifeHopelessFrustratedHelplessRudeDharma Author:Tenzin Palmo
“Many poets are not poets for the same reason that many religious men are not saints: they never succeed in being themselves. They never get around to being the particular poet or the particular monk they are intended to be by God. They never become the man or the artist who is called for by all the circumstances of their individual lives. They waste their years in vain efforts to be some other poet, some other saint...They wear out their minds and bodies in a hopeless endeavor to have somebody else's experiences or write somebody else's poems.” MenWritingYearsMindReasonBodyArtistIndividualReligiousEffortParticularPoetCircumstancesSucceedWasteSaintVainHopelessEndeavorMonkMind And BodyIndividual Life Book:New Seeds of Contemplation Source: New Seeds of Contemplation

“No one can say if you are that person who, given good paint, good brushes, and a fine canvas, can produce something better than the factory man. That is, and has always been, beyond the realm of science. You do have the attitude of the dreamer about you. For that reason, I haven't the heart to argue anymore about this - it is a hopeless talk. And for a simple factory man like me, an effort must be abandoned once its hopelessness is exposed. Only the artist perseveres in such circumstances.
