Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.

See, people are watching you. Especially your children. They're taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.

You have excellence on the inside. It’s who you are. Now do your part. Bring out your excellence!

When you get knocked down, don't stay down; get back up again. Nothing good is going to happen as long as you're down on yourself.

At times we're going to get angry. Anger is an emotion God built into us. But we don't have to blow up and say hurtful things that are going to damage our relationships. Learn to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and think about what you want to say.

No matter what comes your way, shake it off and move forward. When you have a positive mindset, you can't be defeated.

You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won't receive the good things God has in store.
