Robert Dugoni
“There comes a day in every man's life when he stops looking forward and starts looking back.
Because of my father's circumstances, I had a sad commentary on life, but I now understood that he was offering me his own gift, one that only time can provide. He was offering me the gift of perspective. My father was telling me that while we tend to remember the dramatic incidents that change history---Armstrong's walk on the moon, Nixon's resignation, and the Loma Prieta earthquake---we live for the quiet, intimate moments that mark not our calendars, but our hearts: The day we marry. The days our children are born. Their first step. Their first word. Their first day of school. And when our children grow, we remember those moments with a touch of melancholy: the day they get their driver's license, the day we drive them to college, the day they marry, and the day they have their children.
And the cycle begins anew.
We realize it is in those quiet moments that each of us has the ability to make our lives extraordinary.”
Robert Dugoni, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell

“People don't grow where they're planted; they grow where they're loved. Knowing things about the Bible is terrific. But I'd trade in a dozen Bible studies for a bucket full of love and acceptance--and truth be told, so would everyone around us.”
Bob Goff, Everybody, Always: Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People

“Simply that “run to win” isn’t about finishing first, but about getting the best out of yourself.”
Meb Keflezighi, 26 Marathons: What I Learned About Faith, Identity, Running, and Life from My Marathon Career

“Just because you can see a rainbow doesn’t mean you know how to get to the other side.”
Elizabeth Letts, Finding Dorothy

Bob Goff
“So rather than spending time wondering why I don’t hear audible voices, I just try to listen harder with my heart, and I’ve realized a couple of things that seem kind of obvious now. God doesn’t talk to me in an audible voice because God isn’t a human being; He’s God. That makes sense to me, because human beings are limited and God isn’t limited at all. He can communicate to us in any way He wants to anytime He wants to. Through flowers, other people, an uncomfortable sense, a feeling of joy, goose bumps, a newfound talent, or an appreciation we acquire over time. It doesn’t need to be a big mystical thing like my surfer buddies made it out to be.”
Bob Goff, Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World
