Everybody has barriers and obstacles. If you look at them as containing fences that don't allow you to advance, then you're going to be a failure. If you look at them as hurdles that strengthen you each time you go over one, then you're going to be a success.

I have to come to realize that God does not want to punish us, but rather, to fulfill our lives. God created us, loves us and wants to help us to realize our potential so that we can be useful to others.

The point is, we can decry the dangers we face or ignore them or even allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear.

I think of success as reaching beyond ourselves and helping other people in specific ways.
