I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

You're not RESPONSIBLE for somebody else's happiness. You're responsible for your own HAPPINESS.

I feel like what's come out of me is the gift God has given me just to encourage people, to help them know that there's a better life.

I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm here to encourage them. I see myself more as a coach, as a motivator to help them experience the life God has for us.

God never promised that we wouldn’t have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, ‘Be truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure…’ so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return.

When you center life around yourself, not only do you miss out on God's best, but you rob other people of the joy and blessings that God wants to give them through you.

You cannot wait until everything becomes better before you decide to have a good attitude. You have to be the best you can be right where you are.
