Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.

Most people use two totally different sets of criteria for judging themselves versus others. We tend to judge others according to their actions. It's very cut-and-dried. However, we judge ourselves by our intentions. Even if we do the wrong thing, if we believe our motives were good, we let ourselves off the hook. And we are often willing to do that over and over before requiring ourselves to change.

A person's level of income and their desire to give have nothing to do with one another.

Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.

Happiness simply cannot be relied upon as a measure of success.

God will give to you what He knows will flow through you.

God has never given anybody a dream that He did not want that person to fulfill.
