Best 11 quotes of Jon Acuff on MyQuotes

Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle.

I want the peace in knowing that is wasn't for lack of hustling that I missed a target for my dream. I want to know that the one thing in my control was under control.

Pitting your dream against someone else's is a fantastic way to get discouraged and depressed.

Sometimes God redeems your story by surrounding you with people who need to hear your past so it doesn't become their future.

Sometimes when jerks become Christians, it's like a bully learning karate. Instead of having Christ transform our hearts and attitudes, we now have a new method with which to beat you up....what was once just 'forcing everyone to agree with my opinion' is now 'forcing everyone to agree with my opinion in the name of God.

Day one of our new adventure behind us, we are shocked to learn the hardest lesson of chasing a dream. When you go for it, you don't escape fear, you land in it. Fear is not a dragon to be slain once, it's an ocean to be swum daily.

Goals you refuse to chase don't disappear — they become ghosts that haunt you. Do you know why strangers rage at each other online and are so quick to be angry and offended these days? Because their passion has no other outlet. When you refuse to deal in joy, you don't quit being emotional; you just funnel all that fury somewhere else. Many a troll was born from the heartache of a goal he dared not finish. Maybe a troll is just someone who lost to perfectionism so many times he gave up on his own goals and decided to tear down someone else's.

In most goals, it's not about winning all the time, it's about winning more than you lose. We're not aiming for perfection. All you have to do is win more today than yesterday and repeat the whole thing tomorrow.

Intentions are ambitious liars.

People who can't be questioned often end up doing questionable things.

Perfectionism loves isolation. It would prefer you go it alone, convincing you that relying on others is cheating. You should just be strong enough not to need anybody ... Why does it tell you that? Because it's easier to beat one person that it is a team. And most of the worst decisions you made were made alone. That's why.
