You don’t have to live multiple lives to live the wrong one. When really success isn’t something you measure, and life isn’t a race you can win. Because too often our view of success is about some external bullshit idea of achievement – an Olympic medal, the ideal husband, a good salary. … what we consider to be the most successful route for us to take, actually isn’t.

People feed the hungry, free the oppressed, undo heavy burdens. ![]() We have to move forward, somehow. To try to understand what might promote that, I turned to the world’s most-read book, the Bible.
