  1. Mitch Albom _ Have a Little Faith: a True

    I think people expect too much from marriage today,' he said. 'They expect perfection. Every moment should be bliss. That's TV or movies. But that is not the human experience.. . . twenty good minutes here, forty good minutes there, it adds up to something beautiful. The trick is when things aren't so great, you don't junk the whole thing. It's okay to have an argument. It's okay that the other one nudges you a little, bothers you a little. It's part of being close to someone.But the joy you get from that same closeness--when you watch your children, when you wake up and smile at each other--that . . . is a blessing. People forget that.

  2. Mitch Albom _ Have a Little Faith: a True

    I used to think I knew everything. I was a "smart person" who "got things done," and because of that, the higher I climbed, the more I could look down and scoff at what seemed silly or simple, even religion.But I realized something as I drove home that night: that I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier. And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything, because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-no matter how smart or accomplished-they cry, they yearn, they hurt.But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things:comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.

  7. Mitch Albom _ Have a Little Faith: a True

    It's not about having the answers in life. It's about the search for the answers, the choosing to believe in something bigger than yourself that makes the journey of faith so challenging, yet so worthwhile… That is the crazy, glorious, sometimes maddening but always satisfying in the end, journey that we call faith.

  9. Mitch Albom _ Have a Little Faith: a True

    The Reb once did a sermon on how the same things in life can be good or evil, depending on what, with free will, we do with them. Speech can bless or curse. Money can save or destroy. Science can heal or kill. Even nature can work against you: fire can warm or burn, water can sustain life or flood it away.

  10. Mitch Albom _ Have a Little Faith: a True

    The story of my recent life. I like that phrase.It makes more sense than the story of my life, because we get so many lives between birth and death.A life to be a child. A life to come of age.A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent,to test our promise, to realize our mortality--and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
