You have to learn to follow your heart. You can’t let other people pressure you into being something that you’re not. If you want God’s favor in your life, you must be the person He made you to be, not the person your boss wants you to be, not even the person your parents or your husband wants you to be. You can’t let outside expectations keep you from following your own heart.
The bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.
Be careful with whom you associate, especially when you feel emotionally vulnerable, because negative people can steal the dream right out of your heart.
When things gets difficult, and it seems like the intensity has been turned up, that’s a sign you are close to your victory.
Be sensitive to the needs of those around you. Live as a healer. Lift the fallen, restore the broken, and encourage the discouraged.
When you are grateful, that allows God to do great things in your life.
One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine..
When you're tempted to be upset, ask yourself 'Is this worth giving up my joy?'
Dare to believe SOMETHING AMAZING is going to happen in your life. When you believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Closed doors are a test of our faith. Keep moving forward, being your best, living with determination and faith. When you do, you'll see amazing changes all around you.
Act like you're blessed. Talk like you're blessed. Walk like you're blessed. Put actions behind your faith, and one day you will see it become a reality.
There will always be somebody more successful, more beautiful, more talented. You have to realize, you're not running their race. You're running your race.
You didn't just show up on planet Earth by accident.. You were handpicked by Almighty God.
If it’s not meeting a need, turn it into a seed. Remember, we will reap what we sow. When you do good for other people, that’s when God is going to make sure that His abundant blessings overtake you.
