You were created to excel. There’s no limit to how high you can go in life. Keep stretching to the next level.

I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
