Erwin McManus Quotes

I think people who are creative are the luckiest people on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts, but you must keep your faith in something Greater than You, and keep doing what you love. Do what you love, and you will find the way to get it out to the world.

Passion is what gives meaning to our lives. It's what allows us to achieve success beyond our wildest imagination. Try to find a career path that you have a passion for.

Vision is the Source and hope of life. The greatest gift ever given to mankind is not the gift of sight, but the gift of vision.

Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity; it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage - or for that matter, in a homelier way, picking out the right fabric for the kitchen curtains, which is also a creative act.

The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.

If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true?

What drives the creative person is that we see it all.
