“Well, your whole life is like a checkerboard and there's a sense that you get, especially looking back on it, that you begin to realize and gain awareness that there's something else moving all of these pieces around in your life, and that was really true for me right from the very beginning.” WellsWholeMovingLife IsRealizingPiecesAwarenessGainsWhole LifeLooking BackLife Is LikeReally TrueCheckerboard Author:Wayne Dyer
“Every time you prefer the pleasures of this world to the joys of heaven, you spit in the face of Christ; every time when to gain in your business, you do an unrighteous thing, you are like Judas selling Him for thirty pieces of silver; every time you make a false profession of religion, you give Him a traitor's kiss; every word you have spoken against Him, every hard thought you have had of Him, has helped to complete your complicity with the great crowd which gathered around the Cross of Calvary, to mock and jeer the Lord of life and glory.” WorldGivingHardFacesJoyHeavenChristPleasureLordPiecesThis WorldKissingGloryGainsCrossesCrowdsProfessionSellingThirtySilverSpitTraitorMockComplicityJudasCalvary Author:Charles Spurgeon
“You can now, if you choose, employ your present success to advantage, so as to keep what you have got and gain honour and reputation besides, and you can avoid the mistake of those who meet with an extraordinary piece of good fortune, and are led on by hope to grasp continually at something further, through having already succeeded without expecting it.” IfsMistakePiecesGainsAdvantageFortuneExtraordinaryReputationHonourYou ChooseExpectingGood Fortune Book:History of Greece Source: History of Greece
“Only Christ could build a bridge to God with only two pieces of wood. The Christian life is a life of paradoxes. We must give to receive, realize we are blind to see, become simple to be wise, suffer for gain, and die to live.

“What is it that dies? A log of wood dies to become a few planks. The planks die to become a chair. The chair dies to become a piece of firewood, and the firewood dies to become ash. You give different names to the different shapes the wood takes, but the basic substance is there always. If we could always remember this, we would never worry about the loss of anything. We never lose anything; we never gain anything. By such discrimination we put an end to unhappiness.

“When we can let go of what other people think and own our story, we gain access to our worthiness—the feeling that we are enough just as we are and that we are worthy of love and belonging. When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves from the parts of our lives that don’t fit with who we think we’re supposed to be, we stand outside of our story and hustle for our worthiness by constantly performing, perfecting, pleasing, and proving. Our sense of worthiness—that critically important piece that gives us access to love and belonging—lives inside of our story.” PeopleThinkingGivingTryingImportantEnoughStoriesFeelingsPiecesOur LivesFitProveLetting GoGainsDistanceLifetimeWorthyAccessSupposed To BePerformingBelongingHustleWorthinessWorthy Of Love Author:Brené Brown
