It is very true, that the way you think creates reality for yourself.
If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn't pass it around. Wouldn't be doing anybody a favor. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble. That's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.
I want to write about the great and powerful thing that listening is. And how we forget it. And how we don't listen to our children, or those we love. And least of all - which is so important, too - to those we do not love. But we should. Because listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. . . When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life.
God creates, blesses and saves each of us for a radically global purpose
A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but one who creates the most leaders.
We are all in situations of our own choosing. Our thinking creates a pathway to success or failure. By disclaiming responsibility for our present, we crush the prospect of an incredible future that might have been ours.
Jerry Bruckheimer creates comedy, he just doesn't realize because he's a turd.
It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates
In the past, we spoke of poverty, misery only in the south. Now there is a lot of misery, a lot of bad that creates victims in the north as well. This has become manifest: the global system was not made to serve the good of all, but to serve multinational companies.
In most good stories, it is the character's personality that creates the action of the story. If you start with real personality, a real character, then something is bound to happen.
I've always felt that improv looks and feels more clever when you're there to experience it live than when you have the degree of separation that television creates. Television raises expectations.
Adversity builds muscle. Adversity creates strength. Adversity, it turns out, is preparation for success.
Technology is important because it creates the future. We're able to be a part of the "next" and create things that don't exist.
It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
I'd love to be a mad scientist who plays around with chemistry, and solves all the world's problems and creates a few of them himself.
Imagination creates reality.
The internet creates more of an appetite for media - it doesn't replace physical books, radio or TV.
Repentance is a realization that what God wants from you and what you want from God are not going to be achieved by doing the same old things, thinking the same old thoughts. Repentance is a decision to follow Jesus Christ and become his pilgrim in the path of peace. Repentance is the most practical of all words and the most practical of all acts. It is a feet-on-the-ground-kind-of-word. It puts a person in touch with the reality that God creates.
The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
