I'm blessed to be a blessing to someone else.

Don't settle in the land of barely enough. That is where you are, it is not who you are. That's your location, it's not your identity. No matter what it looks like, have an abundant mentality.

You only have so much emotional energy each day. Don't fight battles that don't matter.

I wouldn't ever say if you're having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

Encouragement to others is something everyone can give. Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows?

Selfishness is weakness. But loving and caring for others is a position of power beyond anything we can possibly imagine.

Let go of the old, take hold of the new and believe that 2013 will be your best year yet!
