I define success as a deep sense of peace, and we find the most peace when we live out our true calling and fulfill the purpose we were created for. History is filled with examples of people who had an abundance of material possessions but no peace because no matter how much stuff you have, there's not enough money in the world to fill the hole in your soul.

Commit to a career built on sacrifice, not compromise.

When you get something that you don't work for, you won't know how to value or maintain it.

Waking up in the morning, you didn't have to even think, you did it. Being able to get to work, didn't even have to think, you did it. That's miraculous.

Keeping your family together is an extraordinary feat - especially in the face of great conflict.

You're pulling out and someone says, 'hey, you know what, go ahead and take my spot', miracle.

Don't downgrade your dream to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny.
