More From E. Stanley Jones

The step between prudence and paranoia is short and steep. prudence wears a seat belt. paranoia avoids cars. prudence washes with soap. paranoia avoids human contact. prudence saves for old age. paranoia hoards even trash. prudence prepares and plans, paranoia panics. prudence calculates the risk and takes the plunge. paranoia never enters the water.
Water Car Risk
It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. for the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. it is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. in perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for god: and it is lost and submerged in him and transformed into him.
Spiritual Humility Keys
Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. they voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.
Life Philosophical Unique

Generations Looks Inferiority
The speech we hear is an indication of that which we don't hear. it is a necessary avoidance, a violent, sly, and anguished or mocking smoke screen which keeps the other in its true place. when true silence falls we are left with echo but are nearer nakedness. one way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.
Fall Echoes Silence
Those who profit from adversity possess a spirit of humility and are therefore inclined to make the necessary changes needed to learn from their mistakes, failures, and losses. ... when we are focused too much on ourselves, we lose perspective. humility allows us to regain perspective and see the big picture. ... humility allows us to let go of perfection and keep trying.

There are standards. i like to be prepared, i guess i should say - that type of pressure of, "all right, now you go with abandon," you know. now when you're in it, you let go of all the things - that's what happens when you're onstage.
Letting Go Pressure Should
The work of adult life is not easy. as in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. with each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.
Letting Go Self Safety
