You are full of potential. You are overflowing with creativity. There's nothing in your heart that you cannot accomplish.

Certainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets.

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

God loves to use ordinary people just like you and me, faults and all, to do extraordinary things.

Don’t simply settle for what your parents had. You can go further than that. You can do more, have more, be more.

I DECLARE that God has a great plan for my life. He is directing my steps. And even though I may not always understand how, I know my situation is not a surprise to God. He will work out every detail to my advantage. In His perfect timing, everything will turn out right. This is my declaration.

We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.
