we can not prepare for defeat and expect to live a life in Victory.

There's power when you call on God, you ask Him, and you invite Him into your life. God will be in your life as much as you allow Him to.

If one dream dies, dream another dream. If you get knocked down, get back up and go again.

You are full of potential. You are overflowing with creativity. There's nothing in your heart that you cannot accomplish.

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.

The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.
