“You say you do not know what God's will is, but I'll tell you what it is. Above all it is that you know Christ and then that your neighbors hear about Christ. That is His will. So often we sit around twiddling our thumbs, dreaming about God's will in some distant future when we are not even willing to stand up on our own two feet, walk down the street, and do God's will right now.” KnowsTwoDreamChristWalksFeetStreetsWillingRight NowNeighborGods WillThumbs Author:John F.

“I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. I mean, if you really want to make a living, go to Wall Street and trade oil futures ... We're writers. We're doing something that is inherently a generous act. We're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. Why do that if you're not willing to be generous?

For me, the privilege of being generous is why I get to do this.” IfsWantWritingMeanTurnsWonderStreetsWillingWallTradePrivilegeOilGenerousMore MoneyMuseExposingBeing Generous Author:Seth Godin
