Your life is too valuable to waste being distracted.

Listen carefully to the words and tone of voice you use with your spouse. Are you complaining all the time and telling her what she's not doing right? Or are you doing like Solomon-blessing, encouraging, and uplifting that woman?

Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.

God planted a dream in your heart for a reason. No one else can dream it for you. No one else will accomplish it for you.

I don't really know what the prosperity gospel is. The way I define it is that I believe God wants you to prosper in your health, in your family, in your relationships, in your business, and in your career. So I do ... if that is the prosperity gospel, then I do believe that.

Most of the criticism I get is that I am too positive and too hopeful... in my words, I don't beat people down enough.

The older I get, the better I understand that every day is a gift. There's no guarantee of tomorrow. And part of my whole philosophy is: this day is too important to live it angry, upset, discouraged or stressed out if plans don't work out. This is life, and I'm going to move on.
