Book cover for The Making of a Christian
You cannot make a man see moral truth by persuading his intellect. 'When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He shall guide you into all the truth.’

“As I see it now—and as I saw it back then—you learn the most about career, life, business, and yourself by taking every opportunity to move outside of your comfort zone. By definition, the comfortable and the familiar have nothing new to teach you. The most successful people in life and business are innovators. By definition, innovators need to be uncomfortable.”
Fran Tarkenton, The Power of Failure: Succeeding in the Age of Innovation

“Innovation is business unusual. It’s about actually doing stuff so that you can learn from the doing.”
Fran Tarkenton, The Power of Failure: Succeeding in the Age of Innovation

“Failure is a point in a life or career, and neither a single failure nor a single success is likely to last long, let alone forever.”
Fran Tarkenton, The Power of Failure: Succeeding in the Age of Innovation

“Just about everybody sees desperation as a negative. The emotional state of the truly pathetic, it seems to most something to be shed and shunned. But not to me. I embraced my desperation, let it drive me, pushing me in directions I never thought of before—like developing a running game and doing everything I could to help my teammates perform at their highest levels.”
Fran Tarkenton, The Power of Failure: Succeeding in the Age of Innovation

Richard Rohr
“Christ is a good and simple metaphor for absolute wholeness, complete incarnation, and the integrity of creation. Jesus is the archetypal human just like us (Hebrews 4:15), who showed us what the Full Human might look like if we could fully live into it (Ephesians 4:12–16). Frankly, Jesus came to show us how to be human much more than how to be spiritual, and the process still seems to be in its early stages.”
Richard Rohr, The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For and Believe
