The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.

Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always.

All of us love miracles. We just don't like being in a situation that necessitates one.

Don't focus on the numbers. Trust the process. When you keep doing things the right way, eventually the numbers will rise, the wins will come, and the outcome will happen.

The measure of our success will not be determined by how we act during the great times in our life but rather by how we think and respond to the challenges of our most difficult moments.

The world needs you to speak into the hearts of others and say, I believe in you. If you have the desire then you also have the power to make it happen. Keep working hard. You're improving and getting better. Keep it up. Great things are coming your way. We've hit a lot of obstacles but we'll overcome. Even if you fail, it will lead to something even better. You're learning and growing.

The problem is that you are taking it too personal. Step back for a moment. Don't focus on these people personally. Forget they even have names. Don't think of it as you versus them. Just realize that they represent the negativity that will always be around you. The important thing is to know how to deal with the negativity and what to do with it.

Never a bad day, only bad moments.

Stay Positive It's easy to be positive when everything in life is going great. The hard part is staying positive when you get knocked down and kicked around. The fact is, no one goes through life untested. If you study history, sports, and business, you will find that every great leader and team had to overcome adversity and challenges to define themselves and their success

Life is a test, and a deciding factor of whether we pass or fail is the answer to the following question: "Are you going to stay positive in the face of your doubts, fears, and challenges?

the truth is that we are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard.
