If your dream dies, dream another one. If things don't work out the way you've planned, God has a better plan for you.
Most of the criticism I get is that I am too positive and too hopeful... in my words, I don't beat people down enough.
You don't have to fight every battle. You don't have to respond to every critic. You don't have to be offended because of what others say. You can rise above these things and soar.
At the start of each new day, remind yourself: I am talented. I am creative. I am greatly favored by God. I am equipped. I am well able. I will see my dreams come to pass.
I know what's in my future is greater than what's in my past so I am pressing forward in life.
I'm not for gay marriage, but I'm not for discriminating against people.
Opposition is not there to stop you, it’s there to establish you.
Psalm 34 says, 'Those who trust in the Lord will never lack any good thing.' This means if you don't have it right now, you don't need it right now. Our attitude should be, 'I'm equipped, empowered and anointed for this moment. I am not lacking, shortchanged or inadequate. I have what I need for today.'
If you want your life to get better, sometimes the best thing you can do is to help improve somebody else's life.
Stay focused, ignore the distractions, and you will accomplish your goals much faster.
What you think is a setback, is really a set-up for a greater comeback!
A victor's mentality becomes a victor's reality.
If you develop an image of success, health, abundance, joy, peace, happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you.
God's dream is that you have an abundance, that you be totally out of debt, pay your house off, pay your credit cards off, and have so much overflow that you can be a blessing to everyone around you!
