Five to begin with.
One from each of the categories most people gravitate toward. If any of them make you smile, tear up, or lean in — you'll like the rest.
- 01
Family
Mom's Lesson About Shaving
"The things we wish were different about ourselves are often perfectly fine just as they are. Perspective turns embarrassment into gratitude."
- 02
Leadership
The Quiet Power of Discipline
"Extraordinary lives aren't usually built by extraordinary moments. They're built by ordinary habits repeated with extraordinary faithfulness."
- 03
Personal Growth
Sometimes You Have to Take the Stairs
"Most of our biggest challenges are too overwhelming if we try to tackle them all at once. But almost anything becomes possible when we simply focus on taking one more step."
- 04
Running
The Other Side of Supply and Demand
"We often discover our greatest supply only after making a greater demand on ourselves. Don’t let your first limit become your final destination."
- 05
