What do you do when disappointment comes? When it weighs on you like a rock, you can either let it press you down until you become discouraged, even devastated, or you can use it as a stepping-stone to better things.

The three most harmful negative emotions are anger, guilt, and fear. And anger is number one. It is also the strongest and most dangerous of all passions.

Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying

When you forgive, you're not doing God a favor, you are giving yourself the gift of freedom.

Excellence is going the extra mile.

We may feel fear but we do not have to give in to it. We can do whatever we need and want to do, even if we have to "do it afraid." Courage is not the absence of fear; it is action in the presence of fear.

Get up every day, love God, and do your best. He will do the rest!
