decision suffering makers
The best decision-makers are those who are willing to suffer the most over their decisions but still retain their ability to be decisive.
love-is framework too-deep
Love is too large, too deep ever to be truly understood or measured or limited within the framework of words.
agony community joy
When I am with a group of human beings committed to hanging in there through both the agony and the joy of community, I have a dim sense that I am participating in a phenomenon for which there is only one word...."glory."
love spiritual real
Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love.
leadership mean facts
Servant-leadership is more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly.
community essentials tasks
It is our task-our essential, central, crucial task-to transform ourselves from mere social creatures into community creatures.
meaningful thinking praying
We skim over the surface thoughtlessly. But we must acknowledge that thinking well is a time-consuming process. We can't expect instant results. We have to slow down a bit, and take the time to contemplate, meditate, and even pray. It is the only route to a more meaningful and efficient existence.
spiritual growth mind
I make no distinction between the mind and the spirit, and therefore no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth. They are one and the same.
integrity missing wish
If you wish to discern either the presence or absence of integrity, you need to ask only one question. What is missing? Has anything been left out?
risk love-always
Love always requires courage and involves risk.
children teaching discipline
When we teach ourselves and our children discipline, we are teaching them and ourselves how to suffer and also how to grow.
love-you care enjoy
When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it....
grasping accomplished ifs
If we seek to be loved - if we expect to be loved - this cannot be accomplished; we will be dependent and grasping not genuinely loving.
spiritual loss journey
Genuine love not only respects the individuality of the other but actually cultivates it, even at the risk of separation or loss. The ultimate goal of life remains the spiritual growth of the individual, the solitary journey to peaks that can be climbed only alone.
