But beware of this about callings: they may not lead us where we intended to go or even where we want to go. If we choose to follow, we may have to be willing to let go of the life we already planned and accept whatever is waiting for us. And if the calling is true, though we may not have gone where we intended, we will surely end up where we need to be.
Life is a fragile and awesome gift.
Every violent storm will eventually give way to sunshine; every dark night will finally fade into dawn.
There are few qualities more vital than a strong yearning. That desire to reach a little farther, to be a little more, yearning. . . for a piece of something greater, can often make all the difference.
We don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note. Only notes that are different can harmonize. The same is true with people.
Wherever you are, be there. If you can be fully present now, you'll know what it means to live.

I believe a family can be like that sports team. A successful family wins as a team. But if its members are intent upon winning their own individual battles with one another, the team loses. A winning solution is to work out the differences and, when it's over, let it be over. Then they can get back in the game as a team.
Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace.
When I've lost my way or when I am confused about a path to take, I remember that most answers I need I already possess - deep inside. I am naturally creative, resourceful and whole. If I consult my invisible compass, I'll know what to do.
