“What we have, what we wish we had—ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed; investments won, investments lost; elections won, elections lost—these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us. And each of them is subject to the vagaries and serendipities of life. Our relationship with our Maker, however, depends on none of this … The best advice I know is to give those worldly things your best but never your all, reserving the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.”
