"There's nothing more beautiful than authenticity. There's nothing stronger than vulnerability. There's no better time than now."

"The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself."

Quote_1.png
Brennan Manning

"We look back on our life as a thing of broken pieces, because our mistakes and failures are always the first to strike us, and outweigh in our imagination what we have accomplished and attained."

Quote_1.png
Brennan Manning

"The most important thing in life it to be true to ourselves, to never give up attempting to become the very finest version of what we wish to be, no matter how arduous that proves to be."

Quote_1.png
Brennan Manning

"There is no great reward for being emotionally withdrawn, no pity prize for bottling your frustration. No one is coming to congratulate your chronic self-repression. By opening up, maybe you will inconvenience some people. Maybe you will trigger some conflict. Maybe you will be rejected, criticized, judged. Everything comes with a price and everything has its compensation. Authenticity may require pain, but it also opens the doors to joy, creativity, self-respect, empathy. Self-repression, on the other hand, costs you all the beauty of the world in exchange for a prison of comfort. Is it really worth it? Isn't it time to break free?"

"When I say Be Perfect - it means BE AUTHENTICALLY YOURSELF in expressing your feelings, without any external interference!"

Quote_1.png
Brennan Manning

"It's way too easy to see the real face of a person. They're amiable and full of pretense when they want something from you, but the minute you don't give in, back away or put yourself first (like they do) is the minute they show you who they really are."

"A beautiful rose with an ugly soul wilts quickly."

Brennan Manning

"Your lifestyle should contrast your obedience."

Quote_1.png
Brennan Manning

"You weren't born to be a product of societal and peer pressures. However, you have to first understand that your presence on earth matters, because your life has a very unique purpose. Therefore, be comfortable with parading your true positive self, accompanied with an undying faith in God's guidance and protection."

"The worst of me is the raw material from which God molds the best of me."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"An obese ego is just about the heaviest thing you'll ever carry. So maybe you should stop feeding it."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"I pray for sufficient wisdom to understand that wisdom apart from God is the stuff of opinion tainted by the rot of bias. And if I am somehow apt to confuse such rubbish with wisdom, I will think myself wise but find myself living in a landfill."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"Ethics are the things that say, 'Don't stick your finger in the socket.' The world says, 'It's okay because we've shut off the electricity.' And at the point that we've chosen to listen to the world and ignore our ethics, we say, 'I'm having a really hard time getting back up."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"Anything great will only be appreciated if I am given the opportunity to feel the absence of it, or experience the reversal of it. It is only then that I can even begin to understand its majesty and cherish it in the manner I should have all along."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"To be careless in making decisions is to naively believe that a single decision impacts nothing more than that single decision, for a single decision can spawn a thousand others that were entirely unnecessary or it can bring peace to a thousand places we never knew existed."

Craig D. Lounsbrough
"Choosing a life of safety is safely choosing something other than life."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"I thought myself sufficiently shrewd to make whatever decisions I wanted to make, and then to be able to sufficiently steer those decisions away from the rather dark and nasty places they would naturally take me. And I stand oddly perplexed that suddenly everything around me is dark and nasty."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"Words can be honed to crafted perfection by the finest wordsmiths. Yet, if we trust solely in the expanse of them to explain this God of ours or articulate our experience of Him, we will have brutally destroyed the very things we are attempting to explain. And if I should do that, no words can describe how badly I wish I had no words."
Quote_1.png
Craig D. Lounsbrough
"Possibly the most debilitating deception of all is to create a god of my own making, fool myself into believing that this limp god of mine is the true God, and then construct the entirety of my life on this flamboyantly fictional character. Possibly the most devastating realization of all is when the real God shows up, and in the showing up all of this come crashing down."
