Discernment Quotes

“To be REAL means waking up. Waking up to the inner-truth of who we are and what drives us. It requires an honest look in the mirror to acknowledge that we are not perfect. Waking up means we are willing to transform ourselves from fear-based mindsets and behaviors to become a better person than who we are today. Becoming a REAL leader requires authenticity, humility, caring, transparency, and discernment. Robertson, Susan. Real Leadership: Waken To Wisdom. The Books Factory. Kindle Edition.”

“Divine destiny becomes a calling from the depths of one’s being. A soul calling that urges you to pursue mutual, caring connections. To bravely expand yourself. To be open to new horizons. To not steer away from uncharted territory. To navigate the unknown with curiosity.”

“Your divine detour is meant to build your character. To refine you. To prompt you to get back into the driver’s seat of your life. To understand that you are never too old, and it is never too late to start afresh.”

“What does it mean to be comfortably afraid? For me, the idea is simple. It’s about learning to deal wisely with fear, finding a way to let your nerves guide you rather than stop you. It’s settling yourself in the presence of life’s inevitable zombies and monsters so that you may contend with them more rationally, and trusting your own assessment of what’s harmful and what’s not. When you live this way, you are neither fully comfortable nor fully afraid. You accept that there’s a middle zone and learn to operate inside of it, awake and aware, but not held back.”

“You don’t always need to speak. Just because something can be said doesn’t mean it should be. Not every situation needs your opinion, not every moment needs a reaction. Sometimes, silence is your smartest move — not out of fear, but out of clarity. It gives you space to think, to listen, to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Words can build or break — and once spoken, you can’t take them back. Holding back isn’t suppression; it’s choosing not to waste energy where it won’t be valued or understood. It’s knowing the difference between what’s helpful and what’s just noise. In personal life, in work, in conflict — people who master silence often see more, understand more, and carry fewer regrets. In a world that’s quick to react, real strength is choosing to stay quiet — not because you have nothing to say, but because you know not everything needs to be said.”

“The study of Scripture I find to be quite like mastering an instrument. No one is so good that they cannot get any better; no one knows so much that they can know no more. A professional can spot an amateur or a lack of practice or experience a mile away. His technicality, his spiritual ear is razor-sharp. He is familiar with the common mistakes, the counter-arguments; and insofar as this, he can clearly distinguish the difference between honest critics of the Faith and mere fools who criticize that which they know nothing.”

“You push the TRUTH off a cliff, but it will always fly. You can submerge the TRUTH under water, but it will not drown. You can place the TRUTH in the fire, but it will survive. You can bury the TRUTH beneath the ground, but it will arise. TRUTH always prevails!”

“Rather than swallowing our pride and simply asking what we do not know, we choose to fill in the blanks ourselves and later become humbled. Wisdom was often, in its youth, proven foolish, and ones humiliated were meant to become wise.”

“Always bear in mind that the only person whose judgement matters is yourself. If you can learn to transform self-judgment into good judgment, a.k.a. wise circumspection, you’ve clearly shaken off some of the Dragon’s spell and already have one foot halfway out the door of this construct.”

“I sometimes think as if I am corporate media; I put myself in their shoes: If I could profit off a situation, how would I spin it for the maximum amount of traffic yet still be taken seriously? This, I believe when listening, reading, or watching, helps to discern truth from fact and decipher fact from fiction. It helps to weed out the sensationalism, and you gain a more accurate depiction of the world's actual condition.”

“Knowledge is not the same as wisdom. You can know all the facts and still not be able to act wisely. But without knowledge, it is harder to be wise –– even if what wisdom tells us is that knowledge is very often provisional and that we cannot wait to have certainty about every fact before we act.”

“The Christian should never have to put others down in order to feel good about himself. Instead, he can simply check out the media's insistent portrayal of Christianity and feel grateful that he isn't as deceived as the masses who really swallow the garbage. Ignorance is ultimately how people put themselves down, and the mere Christian who knows what entails the mere Christian is ultimately free from such.”

“I spread the Good News as a chosen one but it's something about me that raises their envy and jealousy. Maybe it's because I'm a spiritual god and have the aura of angelicacy. When confronted, they deny the existence of thee but my discernment lets me see clear water from the muddy. I used to pity myself like "why me?" But now I know the company of the miser is misery. Where there is misery, company is needing & of all the disorders of the soul, envy is the one no one admit to breeding.”

“What's simple is that everything good comes from God, and everything bad comes from man. Where it gets complicated is that everything seemingly good but ultimately bad comes from man, and everything seemingly bad but ultimately good comes from God.”

“Humanity wears the cloak of being rational and civilized. It is a sneering veneer developed, built and used to cope with the brutality of others’ agendas. But this is the cycle that destroys. It is a wheel that never stops turning once you get on it. To break this type of wheel—good intention, follow through and deep pauses are the tools of the crucibles in which we must testify against the norms created in this world. The first step is to speak up in the language or the voice that is your given right.”
