We don't think of our flaws as the glue that binds us to the people we love, but they are. Grace only sticks to your imperfections.

It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.

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

If you don't feel free and be yourself, you can't connect. Find people who accept your quirks. They'll heal your soul.

Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?

I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
