As we begin our journey through #Lent, let us ask the Lord to grant us the gift of true conversion of heart, so that we may better respond to His love for us and share that love with those around us.

Praying with Scripture opens the door for an intimate relationship with God who through these sacred writings invites us into conversation with Him. I encourage you to read and contemplate the inspired word of God daily. May the Word of God nourish our hearts and minds and lead us to the fullness of life. #GeneralAudience

Never waste valuable time or mental peace of mind on the affairs of others - that is too high a price to pay.

“There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.” ― Henry Moore #art #artist #artquotes

Serve God in the circumstances in which He places you. — St. Francis de Sales

Quidquid praecipies, esto brevis — “Whatever advice you give, be brief.”

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

Read more books than those who have a formal education, developing this into a lifelong habit.

Magnificat anima mea Dominum — “My soul magnifies the Lord.”

Skill and competence are far more important than friendly feelings.

Reading a book is among the most high-leverage activities on earth. What are you reading today? 👇🏼

Ægis fortissima virtus — “Virtue is the strongest shield.” #Latin

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea.

Don't ruminate, activate. I find it is difficult to think my way into a better mood. When I sit and stew, the problem usually grows larger in my mind. But if I activate — even if it's unrelated to the problem at hand — my mood tends to improve. Action breaks the spell. Move your body, go outside, play an instrument, work in a different room, do something. Movement changes your state. And when your state changes, your perspective changes. New solutions appear. You notice options that were invisible when your mind was stuck running the same loop.

“If the world is founded on reason, wisdom, and science, and is filled with orderly beauty, then it must owe its origin and order to none other than the Word of God.” -St. Athanasius

Consistency before intensity. Start small and become the kind of person who shows up every day. Build a new identity. Then increase the intensity.

“Whenever we find ourselves without joy, we should recognize that we ourselves need to be re-evangelized—because the grace of conversion is not something that’s ever “over and done”; rather it is ongoing, and ever-deepening, and lifelong.” — Scott Hahn #ScottHahn #Catholic
