“We feel unhappy and confused with our life when we don't do the focus or calling that God has on our life.”

“It is only as we focus our thoughts on heaven that we will correctly interpret life on earth.”

“… for we are all amateurs at life, but if we do not focus too much on our mistakes, a miraculous picture emerges. And we learn that it's not the beauty of the image that warrants our gratitude--it's the chance to paint.”

“Life has its rhythm ad we have ours. They’re designed to coexist in harmony, so that when we do what is ours to do and otherwise let life be, we garner acceptance and serenity. (285)”

“What we find in life is based on where we put our attention. When we focus on the small worlds our thoughts create, we miss out on the beauty and possibilities we are meant to enjoy.”

“We must meditate on what God has done in our life instead of what we are still waiting on Him to do.”

“We can always choose to perceive things differently. We can focus on what's wrong in our life, or we can focus on what's right.”

“Nothing hurts more than When our broken dreams don't let us live. It hurts when someone breaks our trust. It hurts more when someone plays with our feelings. It hurts when we don't get what we deserve. It hurts when someone throws us out from their life.”

“When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.”

“"I think that is a big problem with a lot of Christians," Paul begins. "We want to feel special. And there are times when it does, you know. But not all the time. Sometimes life just feels like life. We have to put our faith in God.”
