If you only do what is easy, you will always remain weak.

I'm not where I need to be, but thank God i'm not where I used to be.

If you are facing a new challenge or being asked to do something that you have never done before don't be afraid to step out. You have more capability than you think you do but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for more.

I may not be where I need to be but at least I am not where I used to be.

Leaders are not born; I believe they are made.

The pathway to change is to renew your mind.

At one time I was shame-based, but I did not know I was ashamed of myself. I was seeing the results of shame in my life, but was unsuccessfully trying to deal with the fruit of it rather than the root.

When you spend time with God, it becomes evident. You become calmer, you're easier to get along with, you are more joyful, and you remain stable in every situation. Spending quality time with God is an investment that yields rich benefits.

I think that most of our unhappiness comes from not liking ourselves. If you don't get along with yourself, you're not going to get along with anybody else. Be content with who God made you to be!

We're all different. You can't be somebody else, so you might as well get good at being who you are.

We fight many battles, but probably the greatest battle we fight is the one with ourselves.

take responsibility for your joy and never again give anyone else the job of keeping you happy. Add a little variety to your life—break up your routine, do something different, and so on. When you do, expect God to meet you and help make your ordinary… extraordinary!
