I always find the greatest help I receive is from people who have been where I have been, but now they're no longer there.

The only thing a title can buy is a little time-either to increase your level of influence with others or to undermine it.

You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.

If you want to make a positive impact, no matter how far-reaching, start at home. Treat your family members like treasures.

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?

Every journey toward a dream is personal, and as a result, so is the price that must be paid for it.
