I really believed that fear is contagious.
Where you are now is not where you will always be. There are brighter days up ahead.
I think sometimes the critics want me to beat people down, and that's not in me. I want to lift people up.
We keep a lot of humor and laughter in the home. A lot of times these days, people let the stress of life take the joy from the home. When you can laugh and you can have joy, that's very healthy. Victoria is easy going. She's very spontaneous and fun. I can hear her laughter all through the house. It sets the tone for the house. I like someone who can laugh. The second thing is respect. We just do our best. We don't always agree with each other but we make the decision that we want to treat each other with respect.
We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.
If you think you’re average, then you’ll be average. If you think you’re ordinary, then you’ll live ordinary. The truth is, there is nothing ordinary about you. You have something to offer that nobody else can offer.
Life begins each morning.
If you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small
Life is not too short... we just wait too long to begin it.
When u have this spirit of excellence, u do the right thing always :even if no one is watching you.
God always wants us to be growing.
Don't live worried, frustrated or upset because of what somebody did or what didn't work out. Come back to a place of peace. It's not going to work against you; it's going to work for you.
Don't confuse small with insignificant.
What you expect is what you will get.
