Sabbath
Sabbath: an "uncluttered time and space to distance ourselves from the frenzy of our own activities so we can see what God has been doing and is doing." (Leonard Sweet)
"Rest is the ultimate humiliation because in order to rest, we must admit we are not necessary, that the world can get along without us, that God's work does not depend on us." (Mike Yaconelli)
Sex
"We have a habit of talking about sex as merely physical, and yet nothing has more soul. Sex takes us into a world of intense passions, sensual touch, exciting fantasies, many levels of meaning, and subtle emotions. It makes the imagination come alive with fantasy, reverie, and memory. Even if the sex is loveless, empty, or manipulative, still it has strong repercutions in the soul, and even bad sexual experiences leave lasting, haunting impressions." (Thomas Moore, The Soul of Sex)
Simplicity
"Our life is frittered away by detail...simplify, simplify, simplify." (Henry David Thoreau)
"In a world in which people have plenty of money, what they really crave is simplicity and convenience." (Hilary Billings)
"What people want is more integration and simplicity." (Tom Kelley)
"We're continually overwhelmed with and distracted by our stuff." (Elaine St. James)
Slowing
'In the end, the art of slowing down is about one thing: confidence." (Patrick Lencioni)
"Slowing down reminds you that the journey is supposed to be fun." (Ann Bancroft)
"Jump off the adrenaline bandwagon, and get yourself and yourself and your organization healthy again." (Patrick Lencioni)
Social Action
"You can't just keep pulling people's bodies out of the river without sending somebody upstream to see what or who is throwing them in." (Jim Wallis)
Spontaneity
"Expect spontaneity and serendipity in everyday life. Design your life journey not through planning but through preparedness...Don't diet; change your life strategy. Don't budget, change your life strategy." (Leonard Sweet)
Success
"You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments or publicity." (O.A. Battista)
