Don't focus on the good old days, look forward towards the good new days.

Again I think my gift is bringing hope to everybody, and I don't want someone to look at me and say, "I would listen to him, I like what he's saying, but he's this or that politically and that turns me off."

I know what's in my future is greater than what's in my past so I am pressing forward in life.

If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.

Your destiny is not determined by your critics. Focus on running your own race.

Your life will follow your expectations. What you expect is what you will get. If you dwell on positive thoughts, you will move in that direction; if you continually think negative thoughts, you will live a negative life.

Sometimes, God uses difficult people, like sandpaper, to rub the rough edges off us.
