SO GOOD QUOTES

Why do you lose your peace because something’s not going the way you want?

Right? Otherwise you’d be very peaceful, right? So either you had an opinion that wasn’t gratified, you had a will that wasn’t fulfilled, you wanted something that they didn’t do, right? Something disturbed, something that you prefer. That’s how you lose peace.

So the solution is to only want one thing, which is reality, which is God, right? 

If the Gospel is true, if Christ is who He said He is, don’t forget what it means to be a Christian. If Christ is who He says, If Christ is God, not some good guy that lived, right? If He’s really who He is, then what He says really matters. And he said, this is what it means to be you—not idealistically you; who you are, right? Not something you’re trying to become. It’s already who you are. You’ve done stuff to cover up who you are. You didn’t stop being who you were, right? This is a very deep Antonion teaching—the best saint—where some people talk about virtue like it’s out there in the air. I pluck it out and put it in, right? Anthony says the complete opposite. He said you already have all the virtues.
