“Growth and transformation occur not by changing who we are, but as we summon the courage to be who we are.”

“When we ask God to transform those who oppose us, we are also asking God to transform us.”

“The capacity for growth depends on one’s ability to internalize and to take personal responsibility. If we forever see our life as a problem caused by others, a problem to be "solved," then no change will occur.”

“We cant change who we are, but we can change the way we do things.”

“We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't.”

“When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World.... when you love someone with all your heart, that's when you are transformed.""Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive... and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.... we continue to change as change is the nature of man. No one is "just this way". That is who they are today - it will not be who they are tomorrow.”
