The sabbath heals us from our compulsion to measure ourselves by what we accomplish, who we know, and the influence we have.

As we become more aware of how much we are cherished as children of God, we grow in our trust of God. — Ken Shigematsu

Pride is not looked at as a weakness, though it is the epitome of it.

That's what you should hear, but you won't. What I will say though, is that the key to curing pride is not so much in loving others more, but actually in loving yourself more.

The first question we must address deals with optimism, the possibility of achieving our goal. Are we in a position where we can actually hope to effect change?

Putting thoughts into words is vastly different from putting truth into words. For words are not truth. As ardently as writers sort and select and polish their words, at the end of the day they are still words. They are not, in themselves, truth. However carefully we choose our words, no matter how eloquently we compile and conjoin and convey them, they remain just words, merely signposts that point to the truth, as Eckhart Tolle put it. Just as preachers, politicians, PR spin masters and the media can't create truth by writing or speaking words they say are true, authors can't validate truth by putting it into print. And the rest of us can't know it by simply hearing or reading the words. We can only find our way to truth by following the signposts and ultimately believing. It all comes down to believing, to faith, for there is no proof this side of the big dirt nap. — Lionel Fisher

Each of us places varying degrees of significance on what's really relevant and important, and we can almost always find fault with the way someone else is thinking or behaving.

Let me put it bluntly: anyone who says that money isn't important doesn't have any! Rich people understand the importance of money and the place it has in our society.

What's more important, your arm or your leg? Maybe they're both important. — T. Harv Eker

Before you submit to any one religion, create your own first and then find out which one out there resonates closest with the one already in your heart. — Suzy Kassem

Knowing your self-worth isn't something others can validate. You either believe it or you don't. — Richard Paul Evans

When we search for "ourselves" in the eyes of others, we have imprisoned our own-selves in believing that our self-worth is nothing unless others validate who we are. Unless we approve of whom we are, what we are, and what we are capable of doing as an individual, only then we will have released "ourselves" from our own imprisonment.

Because I hated myself so much for my fatness, I always looked for other fat people, and especially for fatter people, to judge as harshly as the world seemed to be judging me. And you know what?
