Whenever you face obstacles, crises and dilemmas and your confidence is in your associates more than in God- it is a sign your faith is deteriorating.

When people can walk away from you: Let them walk.

You have to knock on doors. You can't keep your dreams a secret. You have to put them out there on display and people can say whatever they want but keep on pointing your actions towards your dreams.

You don't even have to be the one praying, but if you get around somebody who really know how to pray-prayer will lift you when you've fallen, prayer will catch you when you've lost your grip, prayer will stop you from going overboard, prayer will bring you out!

If you learn how to forgive others for not being strong, then people can learn how to forgive you for your own issues.

I chose to present myself as one who comes from among the people, and I can be touched by their pain because I have my own.

You cannot change what you will not confront.
