Dream no small dreams, for they have no power to move the hearts of men
  • .: Now here is my secret :.

    I tell it to you with an openness of heart that I doubt I shall ever achieve again, so I pray you are in a quiet room as you hear these words. My secret is that I need God, that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give, because I no longer seem capable of giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem capable of kindness; to help me love, as I seem beyond being able to love.

    When people feel comfortable, they stay
    When people stay, they connect
    When people connect, they establish relationship
    Relationship cultivates influence
    Influence changes lives

    Great video.  It’s been around some lately.  It’ll definitely be a Father’s Day video at Sojourn this year.

    great quote …

    Posted By rick on January 26, 2011

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

    - Marianne Williamson
