If you spend your life trying to please people or letting them control you, you may make them happy, but you'll miss your destiny.

You're not better than anybody else, but you're not less than anybody else. You're a child of the Most High God.

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.

It’s not always easy to get over some of those bumps in the road, those disillusionments and disappointments. It’s going to take a strong will. Sometimes, it may take courage. Sometimes nothing but faith in God and say, I refuse to be trapped in the past. I’m not going to let the past destroy my future. I’m pressing on. I’m straining forward, knowing that God has great things in store for me.

It's amazing what people will do when you see the best in them, when you honor them, when you respect them. It not only strengthens the relationship, but it will help that other person rise higher.

True success is when you reach back and bring somebody along with you.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
