beautiful meaningful running
You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.
meaningful grateful writing
I didn't know how story worked. So, when writing the screenplay, people introduced me to the science of it. And I'm grateful. I'll probably use that information for the rest of my career, in terms of writing novels or writing stories. And then, of course, to help me live a better story, a more meaningful story
grateful mean shining
We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.
mean hair clothes
Everybody wants to be fancy and new. Nobody wants to be themselves. I mean, maybe people want to be themselves, but they want to be different, with different clothes or shorter hair or less fat. It's a fact. If there was a guy who just liked being himself and didn't want to be anybody else, that guy would be the most different guy in the world and everybody would want to be him.
lonely stars mean
They are lonely. I'm not talking about lonely for a lover or a friend. I mean lonely in the universal sense, lonely inside the understanding that we are tiny people on a tiny little earth suspended in an endless void that echoes past stars and stars of stars.
mean good-friend men
Right, but you know, what would any of us lose by losing our possessions. Maybe we would gain something, like relationships, like the beauty of good friends, intimacy, you know what I mean, man? Like we wouldn't be losing anything if we lost our stuff, we'd be gaining everything.
honesty mean keys
If honesty is the key to intimacy, it means we don't have to be perfect and we don't have to pretend to be perfect.
christian meaningful jesus
Christians might say that you can't live a more meaningful life without Jesus. Well, that's absolutely not true. You can. You can enjoy a sunrise whether you know Jesus or not.
life-is meaningless
Maybe life isn't meaningless...Maybe just YOUR life is meaningless
meaningful cheating telling-the-truth
Telling the truth is the slow, mundane, difficult route to a meaningful life. Anything else is cheating.
meaningful stories meaning-of-life
The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.
meaningful stories conflict
Meaningful stories have lots and lots of conflict. If we avoid conflict, our stories won't be meaningful.
mean tree stories
I asked God to help me understand the story of the forest and what it means to be a tree in that story.
book mean people
I fell in love with books. Some people find beauty in music, some in painting, some in landscape, but I find it in words. By beauty, I mean the feeling you have suddenly glimpsed another world, or looked into a portal that reveals a kind of magic or romance out of which the world has been constructed, a feeling there is something more than the mundane, and a reason for our plodding.
