Every Crisis Is an Invitation

"Crises of every kind will find us … [But] these crises enter our lives not just as challenges to us to retain our balance and stability, but as invitations to stretch our hearts and minds … [Every crisis] includes within [itself] an invitation for us to move from being good people to becoming great people."

— Ronald Rohlheiser
