“The secret to creating a career that is both nurturing to the soul and the pocketbook is, as theologian Frederick Buechner said, to find where “your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”1 There you will find a job, a career, a business, and a life worth living. We cannot talk ourselves into doing something we do not inherently enjoy, no matter how spiritual that something may appear to those around us.”

“Perfectionism is not as much the desire for excellence as it is the fear of failure couched in procrastination.” —Dan Miller”

“Next time you meet someone, try asking, “How are you making the world a better place?” rather than the normal, “What do you do?”

“Success is never an accident. It typically starts as imagination, becomes a dream, stimulates a goal, grows into a plan of action—which then inevitably meets with opportunity. Don’t get stuck along the way.” —Dan Miller”

“Sanctified ignorance, the belief that if we love God and commit our lives to Him everything will just work out, is an immature theology. If you get up each morning with a clean slate, being open to whatever may happen that day, you will live a life of mediocrity. It is not the path of accomplishment, of excellence, of maximizing our impact and witness. The path of least resistance—just going where it seems easiest to go—creates very crooked streams and very frustrated people. The truly godly life is one of focused purpose, having, like the apostle Paul, defined the goal and created a plan for its accomplishment.”
