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.

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.

When you allow what someone says or does to upset you, you're allowing them to control you.

You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. You were created to be victorious.

We live in a society that likes to kick people when they’re down. Don’t be a fair-weather friend. Stick with people. They need you more in the tough times than they do in the good times.

Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.

When it's all said and done, you may go through the fire, through the flood, through the famine, but you'll come out standing strong.
