The brain is a goal-seeking organism. Setting a goal creates structural tension in your brain, which will seek to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be, who you are and who you want to become.

La oración y la imaginación son directamente proporcionales entre sí;

La fecha de nuestra muerte no es la fecha que escriben en la lápida de nuestro sepulcro. El día en que dejemos de soñar, es el día en que comenzaremos a morir. Cuando sacrificamos la imaginación en el altar de la lógica, le robamos a Dios la gloria que le pertenece a él con todo derecho.
