Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome.

Don't ever say anything negative about yourself.

Don't ever criticize yourself. Don't go around all day long thinking, 'I'm unattractive, I'm slow, I'm not as smart as my brother.' God wasn't having a bad day when he made you... If you don't love yourself in the right way, you can't love your neighbour. You can't be as good as you are supposed to be.

The moment God put a dream in your heart, the moment the promise took root, God not only started it, but He set a completion date.

Let go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you'll get to where God wants you to be.

You have a destiny to fulfill, something greater than you've ever even imagined. But if you're going to become all you were created to be, you've got to take off the “average” label.

Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.
