Meaningful stories have lots and lots of conflict. If we avoid conflict, our stories won't be meaningful.
Donald Miller
Image
The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.

It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless.

If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.

There's a genius part of you that wants to create. That part of you wants to talk to God. Get out of the way.

Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?
Donald Miller
Image
Job found contentment and even joy, outside the context of comfort, health or stability. He understood the story was not about him, and he cared more about the story then he did about himself.

Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.

The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.

Being a Christian is more like falling in love than understanding a series of ideas.
Donald Miller

I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
Donald Miller
Image
I tend to write first drafts that are incredibly cognitive, very rational, very boring. They come off as justification. Like, 'This is my idea and here's all the reasons that it's right.' It doesn't make for very compelling reading.

Image
I know, from the three visits I made to him, the blended composite of love and fear that exists only in a boy's notion of his father.

The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.

Image
We shouldn’t be afraid to embrace whimsy, that nagging idea that life could be magical it could be special if we were only willing to take a few risks.

Image
The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.
Donald Miller
Image
We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.

Flattery has a short battery life, but reminding people they are amazing and precious and wanted and works of art can truly change their lives.
