Instead of waiting for the time to get started to simply appear one day, we need to be intentional with scheduling it.

The schedule you keep determines the life you live. And how you live your life determines how you spend your soul.

We must carry with us the sweet aroma of knowing Jesus everywhere we go.

Most men think they are simply here on earth to kill time—and it's killing them.

I always making sure I was present when anything was going on. I feared that if I missed any opportunity, the magic would come while I was not there and I would miss it forever.

Jesus said, "Do not throw your pearls to pigs" (Matt. 7:6). By this we don't think he was calling some people pigs. He was saying, "Look—be careful that you do not give something precious to someone who, at best, cannot recognize its beauty, or at worst, will trample on it." Consider your feminine heart and beauty your treasure, your pearls.

We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

If we are to grasp the reality of our life while we have it, we will need to wake up to our moments. Otherwise, whole days, even a whole life, could slip past unnoticed.

Our lives unfold only in moments. If we are not fully present for many of those moments, we may not only miss what is most valuable in our lives but also fail to realize the richness and the depth of our possibilities for growth and transformation.

To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.

Life is too short to be small.
