We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
Don't focus on what's wrong. Things may not be perfect, but be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day. Live each day like it could be your last.
True success is when you reach back and bring somebody along with you.
At this very moment, God’s working behind the scenes in your life, arranging things in your favor. Stay in faith!
Before you leave the house, you need to make up your mind that you’re going to stay positive and enjoy the day no matter what comes your way. You have to decide ahead of time.
Nobody owes me anything. I am not at a disadvantage. I am equipped, empowered, and anointed.
I'm going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.
Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.
Every day, set your mind in the right direction. Find something to be grateful for.
(after listening to people gripe and complain just smile and remember) Crows can’t hang with eagles.
Sometimes, God uses difficult people, like sandpaper, to rub the rough edges off us.
A grateful heart is like a sponge that soaks up God's goodness.
You're not RESPONSIBLE for somebody else's happiness. You're responsible for your own HAPPINESS.
When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They're sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.
