The unwillingness of most leaders to set standards, to administer feedback when standards are not met, to praise clearly when standards are met, stands in the way of the development of excellence. the leader who makes no demands of his disciples cannot really lead them at all. the sense of new excitement and new challenge generated by the gospel will be blunted by leaders who shield followers from the full demands of fellowship.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

I grew up in a very loving middle class family. my parents were educators. i'm not even the first phd in my family. they tried to shield me, just as other parents in my neighborhood tried to shield their children. but you knew there was a reason that you couldn't go to that theme park or to a movie theater or to a hamburger stand. they couldn't shield you completely. what they did though was they never let it be an excuse for not achieving, and they always said racism is somebody else's problem, not yours. they tried in that way not to make us bitter about birmingham.

Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.

Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person. life will take on a new nest, deeper interest and greater meaning. you can think, talk and act yourself into dullness or into monotony or into unhappiness. by the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and surging depth of joy.

Inspirational God Spiritual
Each morning we must hold out the chalice of our being to receive, to carry, and give back. it must be held out empty - for the past must only be reflected in its polish, its shape, its capacity.
