Care for yourself first

‘When you care for yourself first, the world will also find you worthy of care.’- Haemin Sunim

Learn to express yourself

Learn to express what you are feeling without agonizing over it. It is a life skill every bit as important as learning how to read. Without it, dissatisfaction builds up, arguments break out, and relationships can blow up like volcanoes.’- Haemin Sunim

Look at your flaws with love

Do not despair over what is imperfect in yourself. Instead, look at your flaws with love.’

Choose a life that improves through failure and pain

‘Rather than choosing a life in which you do nothing for fear of making a mistake, choose a life that improves through failure and pain.’– Haemin Sunim

Do not judge people

Don’t judge people based on how they appear, as they may have difficulties that nobody can see.’- Haemin Sunim

Do not let criticism upset you

If you keep letting criticism upset you, then you will gradually wither, and in the end you will not be able to do anything.’- Haemin Sunim

Forget yourself

We often feel happiest when we forget ourselves. When we feel grateful for someone, we think about that person, not so much about ourselves.’- Haemin Sunim

Give more than you take

‘If you want to excel in a relationship, the way to do so is very simple: Give more than you receive. The more we receive, we can’t help but feel grateful and like the person.’– Haemin Sunim

How To Find Your Purpose

‘If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God.’- Rick Warren

God knows you better than you know yourself. He knows why you are here on this planet. He knows where you are going, what you are going to do to get there.

‘Being controlled by the opinions of others is a quranteed way to miss God’s purposes for your life.’- Rick Warren

But you must follow God. You must listen to God. And you must ask God for help.

According to Rick Warren, ‘The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it.’

That is, ‘To discover your pupose in life you must turn to God’s Word, not the word’s wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation, or inspirational stories.’

More quotes on finding your purpose in your life:

Nothing matters more than knowing God’s purposes for your life, and nothing can compensate for not knowing them- not success, wealth, fame, or pleasure.’- Rick Warren

Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.’– Rick Warren

‘Without a clear purpose you have no foundation on which you base decisions, allocate your time, and use your resources. You will tend to make choices based on circumstances, pressures, and your mood at that moment. People who don’t know their purpose try to do too much- and that causes stress, fatigue, and conflict.’- Rick Warren
