God already knows what we’re made of,
but perhaps He wants us to learn what we’re made of.
I think we would all agree that we learn more
from our tough times than from our easy times.
John Bytheway
Perhaps the greatest display of self-discipline is
persisting when the going gets tough.
Brian Tracy
Perhaps the day may come
when we shall remember these sufferings with joy.

Perhaps it’s when you come to the realization that the point of life isn’t
to be rich, or secure, or even to be loved –
to be any of the things that people usually think is the point.
The point of life is to live as deeply as possible, to experience fully.
Theodora Goss
Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other
is our attention. Rachel Naomi Remen
Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves
to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude.
Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life,
not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.
Henri Nouwen
