#1

Jesus wants us to live differently, and he wants us to take up a challenge. He wants us to live in grace and walk in love, but it is not natural at first. We must practice it to become accustomed to it.

#2

Don’t plan on going to the gym, and don’t make a resolution to do so. Just go to the gym. Your life is a series of positive and negative experiences. Make your life about people, and you won’t regret it.

#3

If there’s anything to fear, it’s pulling back, not pressing forward. Fear of failure is often what holds us back from breaking our personal barriers.

#4

When we’re really walking with Jesus, our lives look just as expectant as people in San Diego do on the Fourth of July. There’s no question that something awesome is going to happen. Quit playing it safe and press the button.

#5

Failure is the biggest fear for most people. It’s difficult to put your passions into action when you’re afraid of failure. If others see you go all in, they’ll see you if you fail.

#6

It’s easy to be a planner when it comes to your future, but don’t forget to be present in the present and love those around you. By all means, keep planning, but don’t forget to be ready to start.

#7

It can be difficult to limit your distractions and stay focused on God. But you should try. It’s better to spend your time with the One who created time than to waste it.

#8

#9

We can't worry about what might go wrong when we're planning a new project or pivot. We have to focus on moving forward and repeating this process until we reach our destination.

#10

We often leave the risks and big life changes to college students or young professionals as if they were the only ones capable of handling them. But we spend our entire lives trying to figure out what we’re supposed to do with our lives.

#11

Love is not just about thinking about it, but about doing it. Love requires sacrifice and commitment, and these two things always travel together with love and action.

#12

You were not born to do what you are doing. It’s time to figure out what you were made to do and then do a lot of that. You may have to change your career path, or simply shift your schedule to prioritize your newfound passions.

#13

The things that keep us from pursuing our dreams are often the failures and letdowns we’ve experienced in the past. Don’t let who you were decide who you’re becoming. The setbacks we all face can be big or small. We can spend all sorts of time carefully folding paper, or we can throw it into the air and see if it flies.

#14

The same is true about developing the courage to be vulnerable. You can't earn big money without risking a lot. If you only put a little on the line, you won't see much of a return. You've got to go big to achieve your goals.

#15

We often give ourselves unflattering nicknames based on our pain. But remember that these are just labels, and God calls us His beloved.

#16

When we say we’re waiting on God, we often mean that we’re just stalling. We’re prone
