“Sometimes when you've had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you've already had.”

“If someone decides they're not going to be happy, it's not your problem. You don't have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood...”

“God doesn't do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it's not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.”
