The Purpose Driven Life by Richard Warrenby Parker on TwosForgotten experiences are worthlessDon’t be envious of the runner in the lane next to you; just focus on finishing your raceBe sure to do what you should for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having some your work well and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone elseIf my life is fruitless, it doesn’t matter who praises me, if my life is fruitful, it doesn’t matter who criticizes meWe are to cultivate our gifts and abilities, keep our hearts aflame, grow our character and personality, and broaden our experiences so we will be increasingly more effective in our serviceTake advantage of every training opportunity to develop your shape and sharpen your serving skillsWhoever wants to be great must become a servantWithout a servants heart, you will be tempted to misuse your shape for personal gain. You will also be tempted to use it as an excuse to exempt yourself from netting some needsReal servants make themselves available to serveReal servants do what’s needed, even when it’s inconvenientReal servants do their best with what they haveIf you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything doneReal servants do every task with equal dedicationIf you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobodyReal servants don’t serve for the approval or applause of othersThrow yourself into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort
