Be Different, Humble, Wild, and Real

"[Be] daring enough to be different, 

humble enough to make mistakes, 

wild enough to be burnt in the fire of love,

real enough to make others see how phony [you] are."

~ Brennan Manning, author

Want people to like you?

"If you would be loved,
 love and be lovable"

~Benjamin Franklin

It is not what you do...

"It is not what you do,
but how much love
you put into it
that matters."
~Mother Theresa

Love, Sacrifice, Service, and Respect

"The keys in life are the depth of your love to everyday people -- so you sacrifice much  -- and the quality of your service to ordinary folk -- so you treat them with respect!"

~Professor Cornel West

Love is Vulnerable

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

 ~C.S. Lewis

Steep your Day in Love.
