The next time you lose heart and you canâ€™t bear to experience what youâ€™re feeling, you might recall this instruction: change the way you see it and lean in.

People aren't very good listeners, by nature ... Part of being a good communicator is recognizing and understanding that and trying to make the complex simple. I try to capture a concept, an idea or a moment in a few words. If they remember it, job done.
The seeds you are harvesting today were planted by the words of your mouth yesterday.
Prayer, even more than eating or sleeping, is not a luxury but a necessity, and we are only fully human when we remember this and arrange our life accordingly.
