Inspirational thoughts
Letting go…
“What’s gone and what’s past help, should be past grief.” William Shakespeare
Courage
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” Mark Twain
Good character
“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.” William Shakespeare
Confession
Nature
“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” Anne Frank
Keep your peace
“This, too, shall pass.” William Shakespeare
This election, a cure for Covid, the economy…all matter. But don’t allow any of this to take away your peace. Keep your eyes on Jesus and his loving plan for you. Regardless of how things turn out, your personal holiness is what will bring you inner peace and allow you to make a dent in a culture that yearns for a strong Christian example of virtue.
Servant leadership
“Let us be servants in order to be leaders.”Fyodor Dostoevsky Jesus shows us the way in the washing of his disciple’s feet…
Joy
“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don’t bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he’s a good man.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Attachments
“Luxuries are easy to take up but very difficult to give up” Fyodor Dostoevsky
