I always try to remember that I am a work in progress. It is life's journey that matters and the turns I take will determine how much progress I make. You see, I am unique in my gifts and the purpose I was created for. When I get to heaven at the end of my journey, I will not be asked what gifts He gave me, but what I did with them. Each one of us is a work in progress, with a mission and purpose to fulfill that is uniquely ours. Keep that in mind as you journey, won't you?

Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.

Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.

Always turn to God in the midst of your struggle and view people who offended you as an instruments of divine sovereignty.

I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me.

If your desire is to be successful or to make a positive impact on your world, you need to become a person of influence.

Integrity is not so much what we do as much as who we are.
