Holy Moments
Author Matthew Kelly
This book gave me great comfort after my father passed away. I still refer to it from time to time when I feel the need to "get back on track." It's a solid attitude adjustment!
"You have so much more to offer. You know it. You have sensed it for some time now. This sacred truth has been bubbling up in your soul, but you have never known quite what to do about it. All that is about to change. Some ideas are so powerful that simply becoming aware of them changes our lives forever. Holy Moments is such an idea. It is profoundly simple, astonishingly practical; and once you discover it, your life will finally make sense. It's time to let Holy Moments show you what is possible. It's time to explore your soul-potential."

Siddhartha
Author Hermann Hesse
Although this book was written in 1922, its profound message is timeless ... man's lifelong search for truth and wisdom. For many years it was required reading in high school Humanities and advanced English classes.

"I felt restlessness in my heart and was still unsatisfied."

"Seeking means to have a goal, but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. Striving towards a goal, we don't see many things right under our nose."

"Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it."
-
"Everything that exists is good - death as well as life, sin as well as holiness, wisdom as well as folly. Everything is necessary."
-
"Love this world, not some kind of desired imaginary world or vision of perfection. Love it and be glad to belong to it."​

"His deeds and life are more important than his talk, the gesture of his hand is more important than his opinions. Not in speech or thought do I regard him as a great man, but in his deeds and life."​​
