Forty Days on Being a Three Quotes

“Comparison thrives in me by magnifying the gaps in life: what’s not as I think or was told it should be, or my lack of accomplishments. Gratitude highlights the places life has been and is being made whole.”
― Sean Palmer, Forty Days on Being a Three

“The only countermeasure to comparison is gratitude.”
― Sean Palmer, Forty Days on Being a Three

“who you are, your core, is inherently good and made in the image of God. You don’t need to feel badly or apologize for the natural gifts that are inherent to who God created you to be. Spiritual formation is not about taking on a new persona; it’s about releasing the false parts of that personality. The bones are good. You don’t need to tear down your house.”
― Sean Palmer, Forty Days on Being a Three

“In our hurry, we unwittingly say, “I am God. If I don’t get it all done, I’m defective. If I don’t act, I will be abandoned. If I don’t maneuver, I will be manipulated by others.” Stillness teaches us a different rhythm. Stillness teaches us the good and beautiful work of God that asks for our participation but rejects our control.”
