The way we respond to challenges determines the stories we'll tell one day. Your decision to trust God in life's storms may be one of the best ongoing choices you ever make.

When you start to avoid what hurts you, what happens? Over time, your spiritual side grows stronger. And your selfish side starts to die.

I'm asking God to bless you with something that unsettles you, disturbs you, and upsets you.

You cannot control what happens to you, But you can control how you frame it.

Pain in the moment, and hope for the future. But sometimes the pain seems to yell, while hope only whispers.

If we take a risk, we might not succeed, but if we avoid all risk, we guarantee we won't succeed, and we miss so much of what God wants us to learn.

God's highest agenda is not our immediate happiness. I believe that God is much more committed to our eternal joy, our spiritual growth, and the condition of our hearts.

One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it, and the journey is always towards the other soul.

My career has never really been a vertical kind of thing. I mean, it's always been a bit difficult for me.

Many people suffer at the hands of others. The world can be unfair, at times mercilessly so. Millions of people in the world are genuine victims, right now. All of us will be at some point, whether it's for small matters or large, for a long duration or short. But we aren't all victims, not all the time anyway, not for everything.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Sometimes life goes by in a trickle and sometimes life goes by in a flood. It's in those rainy seasons you find out how well you can swim.
