"In this life we will have some bad days. Some may be so bad that recovery seems impossible, but all things are possible to him who believes. On the worst day of your life, perhaps the best thing you can do is remember this promise: “All things work together for good,” and dare to believe that this too will work out for good and that somehow everything is going to be all right."
-- Brian Zahnd
"When you have been through the worst day of your life, you need to reorient your vision and imagination. You need to turn your focus away from the present crisis and toward the alternative future of recovery. This is what hope is all about."
-- Brian Zahnd
"Vision is the image of the future that dominates your imagination. If you ask a man living an empty, dead end life if he wishes he had a better life, he would certainly say yes. But he has no vision for it. He wishes things were better, but as he peers into his future, all he sees is more of the same. He’s like Bill Murray in the movie “Groundhog Day,” living the same day over and over. Your vision is not merely your wants, wishes, and desires—your vision is what you see. Your vision is your future!"

"If you will chose to speak positive words—words of life, words of healing, words of forgiveness— instead of negative, critical, blaming, complaining words, you can turn your bitter waters sweet. If you don’t, you will poison yourself from the bitter waters that flow out of your own heart."
-- Brian Zahnd
"Don’t allow grief to conquer you! You don’t have to stay in the sad place where you find yourself right now. It is possible to rise up and take the steps of faith that will carry you toward a better tomorrow."
-- Brian Zahnd
