When you keep God in first place, He will take you to places you've never dreamed of
Life is going by. Don't waste a minute being negative, offended, or bitter. Choose to be happy.
Every day, set your mind in the right direction. Find something to be grateful for.
I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors.
Your future starts today. Don’t go through life looking in the rearview mirror. Your life is filled with possibility.
If you have a big challenge today, that just means you have a big destiny.
Being successful doesn’t necessarily make you great. What makes you great is when you reach back and help somebody else become great.
God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.
You can't talk defeat and expect to have victory. You can't talk lack and expect to have abundance. You've got to send your words out in the direction you want your life to go.
If you’re controlled by your circumstances, life is going to be a roller coaster with ups and downs. God wants you to be stable, consistent, not moved by any of these things. When you face an adversity, when you hit a tough time, one of the best things you can do is simply stay calm. Keep your peace.
If you give, you will be blessed.
Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you're supposed to be.
Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.
No matter what comes your way, shake it off and move forward. When you have a positive mindset, you can't be defeated.
