John Kuypers quotes:

The Paradox of Change: People can only change when they feel accepted as they are now. Dr. Arnold Beisser Pg 220

When you have nothing but love, you have everything. This means you must live as if you have nothing to hide, nothing to prove and nothing to lose.

When you do what's important now for you, you create a past that leaves you ready to handle the present. By default, the future is taking care of itself as you make decisions that are acceptable to you no matter what happens tomorrow.

A judgment with an evil design comes about when we compare a person to our pre-conceived beliefs about what is right or wrong and then condemn that person.

The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future.

When you are living in the present, you know what's important now for you and you act on that knowing.

Judgments are like a snowball. They stick to you. As time rolls along, the snowball becomes a boulder and then an avalanche."

In its highest form, not judging is the ultimate act of forgiveness.

In order to live in the present, we have to learn how to feel safe even when a situation feels threatening to us.

To live in the present, you need to act or accept but never stay stuck.

If you first take a minute, an hour or a month to let go of feeling annoyed, frustrated or critical of the person or situation that may be driving you crazy, you set yourself up for much greater leadership and personal success.
