If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

When you go through a loss, a disappointment or a bad break up, don't expect to come out the same. Expect to come out better off than you were before.

When it's all said and done, you may go through the fire, through the flood, through the famine, but you'll come out standing strong.

If we don't forgive ourselves for mistakes we've made-and everybody's made their choices, some worse than others-we'll never experience the good life God has in store.

A victor's mentality becomes a victor's reality.

My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.
