“There is a close relationship between a house full of possessions and a heart full of desires, between a cluttered closet and a crowded schedule, between having no place to put possessions and having no priorities for our life. These are precious clues. They remind us to slow down, to live in the present, to reduce the desires that drain our vitality, to clarify priorities so we can give our time and attention to what matters most. Tragically, in the press of modern life, we have managed to get backwards one of life's most vital truths: people are to be loved; things are to be used.” PeopleLoveGivingHeartMatterTruthUsedDesireHouseAttentionOur LivesRelationshipModernPressesPossessionPrioritiesLive LifeOur TimeWhat MattersSchedulesClosetsBackwardsClueSlow DownVitalityModern LifeCrowdedDrainsLive In The PresentPressuredClose RelationshipMost Meaningful Author:Eknath Easwaran

“When we sit thoughtfully pondering in a quiet place and the Spirit speaks to us, there will come into our hearts and souls the things that are truly our greatest desires, those things that are more important in the long run than anything else. Away from the appeal of the world, that greatest desire usually relates to relationships with family and with the Lord. And when that priority is in place, then we begin to plan our lives with purpose. We begin to have goals that cause us to live with anticipation.” WorldHeartLongImportantSoulRunningSpiritDesirePurposeSpeakCausesGoalLordOur LivesPlansQuietPrioritiesRelateAppealsPurpose Of LifeAnticipationLong RunsHeart And SoulPonderingQuiet PlaceLive With Purpose Author:Ardeth Kapp
“Reality is a harsh mistress. She demands our honesty. She demands our work. She demands that we give up comforts, that we let ourselves feel pain, that we accept how small we are and how little control we have over our lives. And she demands that we make her our top priority. But she is more beautiful, and more powerful, and more surprising, and more fascinating, and more endlessly rewarding, than anything we could ever make up about her.” GivingFeelsLittlesRealityPainBeautifulPowerfulAcceptingOur LivesHonestyComfortDemandGiving UpPrioritiesFascinatingSurprisingHarshMistressTop Priorities Author:Greta Christina

“One of the best ways to properly evaluate and adapt to the many environmental stresses of life is to simply view them as normal. The adversity and failures in our lives, if adapted to and viewed as normal corrective feedback to use to get back on target, serve to develop in us an immunity against anxiety, depression, and the adverse responses to stress. Instead of tackling the most important priorities that would make us successful and effective in life, we prefer the path of least resistance and do things simply that will relieve our tension, such as shuffling papers and majoring in minors.” IfsWayImportantUseLife IsViewsPathSuccessfulOur LivesNormalPaperAnxietyStressAdversityResponseEnvironmentalPrioritiesBest WayResistanceTensionTargetGet BackMinorsPapersFeedbackEvaluateAdaptedAdverseImmunityTacklingShufflingPath Of Least ResistanceAnxiety Depression Author:Denis Waitley
