Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break, and all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.

Quotes
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
It is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows.
Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.
If you’ve read about remote-work failures in the press, you might think that the major risk in setting your people free is that they’ll turn into lazy, unproductive slackers. In reality, it’s overwork, not underwork, that’s the real enemy in a successful remote-working environment.
A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
Wherever you go, there you are.
I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.
Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so.
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself.
