If you can humanize (rather than objectify) those with differing opinions, needs, and perspectives then you can create harmony, community, and true relationships. 

All mental and emotional pain is a result of unmet expectations. We can either change our response to these expectations or change our expectations. 

Love can be so many things, but above all, love is enduring. 

Love doesn’t weaken based on the circumstance, love is consistent. 

If you can’t support your own beliefs with faith and reason, then you should find out what you actually believe before you do more damage to your own life and to those around you. 

Power is always given to those who do not quit. 

Strength is always given to those who keep going. 

When everything comes into focus, 

when the thoughts are clean, 

and the mind is clear, 

we will always be amazed at how far we can see. 

Miracles are born when passion meets commitment. 

Miracles are created when excitement meets purpose. 

Judging the actions of others as negative doesn’t leave room for forgiveness. 

Assuming others think the same as you doesn’t leave room for forgiveness. 

Knowing you are right and they are wrong doesn’t leave room for forgiveness. 

Community is everything. 

If we have a community we can build:

build faith with each other,

build strength in each other, 

build resilience around each other. 

Helping others is easy as long as we are not worried about what we get out of it.
