Live So Others May Flourish >
Imagine you entered a concert hall where a symphony orchestra sat ready to play, but half of the members had their hands tied behind their backs.
Follow Your Passion, Not Your Career Path >
God knows that if we are passionate and fulfilled in what we do, we will be most creatively engaged in our work as colaborers with Christ. St. Augustine put it like this: "Love, and do whatever you like."
God Works in Your Daily Grind >
When we were kids, we all wanted to make a big difference in the world: cure cancer, fly to the moon, or drive that shiny red truck to put out fires in burning buildings. But as we get older, we realize that what we're now doing is what we'll be doing for a long, long time.

The Genius Trap >
Oscar Wilde, the brilliant British writer, was asked by a customs agent if he had anything to declare upon arrival in New York. He said, "I have nothing to declare but my genius." Joe Namath, the legendary quarterback, often let others know he that…
