So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. I'm not happy. I don't know what's wrong. If I just had another job, I could be happy. If I just get married, I would be happy. Well if I just wasn't married, I would be happy. Well, if I just had some kids, I'll be happy. I'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. If I had a bigger house, I would be happy. Well, I got a big house. Now if I just had a maid to clean, I'd be happy. Well, now if I just had a maid I could get along with better, I'd be happy.

Having everything your way is highly overrated.

If you look at your circumstances you will put off doing what God is telling you to do. It can seem like the worst time to do whatever God says to do. BUT there is an anointing on "now" if God has told you to act.

I was mentally, emotionally and verbally abused by my father as far back as I can remember until I left home at the age of eighteen

Anything that God wants you to have, there's no devil in hell and no person on earth that can keep you from having it if you just won't quit and give up.

When we are overly concerned with what people think we will be controlled by the thoughts and opinions of other people.

Wisdom is doing now what you are going to be happy with later on
