I try to live what I teach. A lot of things come against us in life, but we should try to find something to be grateful for, and see each day as a gift.
A grateful heart is like a sponge that soaks up God's goodness.
Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.
To be happy in life... You've got to train your mind to see the good, to be grateful for what you have.
Don't focus on what's wrong. Things may not be perfect, but be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day. Live each day like it could be your last.
When you are grateful, that allows God to do great things in your life.
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.
We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I am excited about the opportunity of expanding our outreach with Free Press.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
You have enough people against you... be for yourself.
