You can’t think thoughts of mediocrity and expect to excel. The two don’t go together.

I struggled for a long time with survivin', and no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for.

Listen carefully to the words and tone of voice you use with your spouse. Are you complaining all the time and telling her what she's not doing right? Or are you doing like Solomon-blessing, encouraging, and uplifting that woman?

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.

Too often we make the mistake of remembering what we should forget-our hurts, failures and disappointments -and we forget what we should remember-our victories, accomplishments and the times we have made it through.

Failure is an event-it’s not who you are. Don’t let that label get stuck on you. If one dream dies, dream another dream.

You don't have to fight every battle. You don't have to respond to every critic. You don't have to be offended because of what others say. You can rise above these things and soar.
