My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

When the negative thoughts come - and they will; they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.

If you start praising your wife, if you start telling her how beautiful she is, and how glad you are to have her in your life, when you talk about the good, you will draw out the good. If you talk about the negative, you'll draw out the negative. It's up to you.

You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people.

Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ.

Don't grow accustomed to living with less, doing less, and being less to the point that you eventually sit back and accept it.
