Give all your gifts away in service to the world. If you want to paint, don’t wait for a grant. Paint a wall in your town that looks drab and uninviting. You never know who’s going to see that wall. Whatever it is you want to do, give it away in service to your community.
One of the greatest gifts you can give is
your undivided attention.
Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life — whoever you are, whatever our differences.
Each day is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to Him.
Your attention will continue to be grabbed by anything until you give it the appropriate attention.
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Things hold your attention hostage until you give them the appropriate attention.
I say: "What you give, you give to yourself; what you do not give, you give up." And this is to say that whatever you do in the world, you do to yourself; and whatever you do not give to the world, you lose.
Live as with God; and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
