People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

If where winning spiritually, we're a winner.

We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.

To array a man's mind and will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.

Attitude is altitude.

Life is 100% what happens to me and 90% of how react to it.

There are no obstacles which our Savior's love cannot overcome. The High Places of victory and union with Christ can be reached by learning to accept, day by day, the actual conditions and tests permitted by God, by laying down of our own will and accepting His.

God is the One who is with us when we have to do something we don't think we are capable of doing.

God's role is not to make our lives easier, to make the hard things go away, or to do them for us. God's role is to give us the vision to know what we need to do, to bless us with the qualities of soul that we will need in order to do them ourselves, no matter how hard they may be, and to accompany us on that journey.
