“So be encouraged. The agony you are experiencing is normal. The loneliness you feel is to be expected. The sleepless nights when you stare up at the ceiling and think, “What have I gotten myself into?” are part of the process. All of those experiences will ultimately lead you to the conclusion, “God, if you don’t come through, I’m sunk!” And that is exactly where he wants you to be—and stay. For this reason, men and women of vision are men and women of faith. And through their faith, God is honored.”

“So I took to the road with an accomplice and set off to the golden South, the new land of opportunity, North Carolina. Here, with the help of a partner I had only just met (and on the back porch of a rural farmhouse, to boot!), I was going to simultaneously live my version of the great American dream and enrich the lives of the residents of Raleigh, North Carolina.”

“Think about this for a moment. What would happen if you were to begin speaking to people’s potential rather than their performance?

What would happen if you intentionally laced your conversations with notions of what could be true of the people around you?”

“We have always hired people with strong personalities. In fact, the only true criterion necessary to work at the Third Place is that one is a nice person—period. The rest can be learned in a day or two. We have consistently relied upon the interesting and colorful personalities of our co-workers at the Third Place to keep the atmosphere intriguing, fresh and new All of the people who have worked with us over the years have taught me something about my business, myself, and the world around me at some point during their tenure, contributing problem-solving skills and for this I am grateful.”
