The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

It's easy to see the negative, but every person has something great about them. Develop a habit of looking for the good.

I think the first thing to do is to be aware that you can choose what you're thinking about and that your life is going down the path that you're thinking.

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

My daddy tried to get me up to speak for the 17 years that I worked behind the scenes, but I never had the desire. Naturally, I was nervous and kind of shy. I just didn't want to do it.

When you believe, it activates God's power.

People will try to label you not good enough, too slow, too old, too many mistakes. You can't stop negative comments or prevent negative labels, but you can choose to not let them hold you back.
