When you go through difficult times...recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

At times we're going to get angry. Anger is an emotion God built into us. But we don't have to blow up and say hurtful things that are going to damage our relationships. Learn to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and think about what you want to say.

God wants us to live consistently, He wants us to enjoy every single day of our lives.

I don't focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, then I don't worry about it.

A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.

Prospering just doesn't have to do with money.
