You shouldn't shoot at every opportunity that passes by.
Being angry is human. Staying angry is foolish.
I would tell your generation, wherever you are on the totem poll - whether you're halfway there or at the bottom, don't despise small beginnings; small beginnings get you ready for great things.
The most dangerous thing in the world is to have no purpose.
You don't have to be in church service to worship, you can be in your own home. You enhance your spirituality, through the instrument of worship, when you really connect with the invisible, almighty God.
As we forge deeper into this issue of forgiveness, we must be prepared to open up and discuss things that bother us before they escalate to a crisis level. We must examine our struggles with forgiveness in which there are not overt offenses or blatant betrayals. I'm convinced that seeds of resentment take root in the silent frustrations that never get discussed. Other people cannot read our minds--or our palms!--and that is why we have tongues to speak.
It does matter where you go to church, it does matter where you worship, it does matter where you lift your head, it does matter where you cry out to God. There is something about the atmosphere. I might be lame, but put me in the atmosphere. I may be drunk, but put me in the atmosphere. I may be weak, but put me in the atmosphere.

There’s something you learn from helping other people with their dreams that prepares you for your own.
The critic is a prisoner to his own experiences and perspectives, erroneously believing his limited experiences are the sum of all truth
I found out that the things that hurt us the most can become the fuel and the catalyst that propel us toward our destiny. It will either make you bitter or it will make you better.
If you have achieved any level of success, then pour it into someone else. Success is not success without a successor.
Eagles fly where lesser birds cannot fly, so eagles can do what lesser birds cannot do.
