The most monumental events in all of human history all began with one person. And in a world that’s struggling, the one thing that you can ill-afford to forget is that what you have in common with every single one of those men and women is that you too are one person.

The world is shaken by major events, but it is ‘transformed’ by slight subtleties. And while we may be far too small to create even one major event, we are just the right size to craft a thousand subtleties.

I do not walk into the storm unless I have been called into the storm. For the former is arrogance and the latter is obedience.

To my own demise, I rarely ask why I’m hungry because I’m focusing all of my energies on getting fed. And if I persist in such a diminishing cycle, in all probability I will eventually starve to death because I have chosen to gorge myself on the very things that will keep me empty.

If sacrifice is not the theme of my life, there’s no sense telling the story.

However far I’ve come, it’s probably somewhere less than halfway of where I could be if I simply believed in myself.
