When I grow up I want to be a football cheerleader, not a coach.
~ Naomi, same girl who also wants to be a police officer because it would be "interesting", pondering the fact that winning coaches get buckets of ice water or Gatorade dumped on their heads and cheerleaders don't

Think with me here ... everybody wants to be on the mountaintop, but if you'll remember, mountaintops are rocky and cold. There is no growth on the top of a mountain. Sure, the view is great, but what's a view for? A view just gives us a glimpse of our next destination - our next target. But to hit that target we must come off the mountain, go through the valley, and begin to climb the next slope. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life's next peak.

People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.
The path to better living is found in developing the compassion and the space to love even those who don't deserve it.

Choosing to invest in only the relationships that benefit me isn’t love, it’s selfish.
