“Your current circumstances do hold something beautiful—you just might need a new lens. When you and I do this, what we will see is the beauty of God all around us, no matter what life is throwing at us at the moment. Slow down, take in your life, find the beauty, and see God moving all around you—it’s worth it.”

“The point of this book is to learn the money habits that will enable you to live the life you want. In order to do that, you’ve got to know what you value. That’s right—what you value, not what your friends value and not what the culture says you should value. Your values are up to you, but too many people never take the time to figure out what’s really important to them. They just go with the flow and chase the life everyone else is chasing without ever stopping to ask what they want for themselves.”

“It’s time to revisit lessons I’ve learned, time to take them further. It’s time to inspect my baggage again, to see what has snuck in there since the last time I cleaned it out. It’s time to ask the harder questions, to cultivate deeper contentment. It’s time to confront what I’m afraid of, what I feel I’m entitled to, and that comparison that plays nasty tricks on me. I’m prepared to be unpleasantly surprised, to unearth stuff that I thought only existed in other people. I’m prepared to find something sparkly in myself and in the offerings of a God who loves me. I’m prepared to do hard work, to reflect, rethink, repent, and rejoice. And I’m prepared to laugh at myself and other people, because, after all, the human species is comedy at its best.”
