One who is content with what he has, and who accepts the fact that he inevitably misses much is far better off than one who has much more but worries about all he is missing.
For we can not make the best of what we are, if our hearts are always divided between what we are and what we are not;
the fruitfulness of our life depend a large measure on our ability to doubt our own words and to question the value of our own work;
what we need is the gift of God which makes us able to find in ourselves not just ourselves but Him:
and then our nothingness becomes his all.

What is the reference for this quotation? Thank you. Rob
I believe this is from his book, New Seeds of Contemplation.
