So many people talk about themselves: "I'm unattractive, my mind's so slow, and I can't do this." And you know what I tell them? "God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you."
You control the doorway to your mind.
Program your mind with what God says about you and a transformation will take place.
Faith is not in your head. Faith is in your heart. Sometimes you have to turn your mind off and listen to your heart.
You will never rise above the image you have of yourself in your own mind.
You will never go beyond the barriers in your own mind. If you think you can't do something, then you never will.
I don't mind saying, you know, that I don't take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.
Before you leave the house, you need to make up your mind that you’re going to stay positive and enjoy the day no matter what comes your way. You have to decide ahead of time.
Keep in mind, just because you don’t know the answer doesn’t mean that one does not exist. You simply haven’t discovered it yet.
Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how difficult, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in spite of it.
Every day, set your mind in the right direction. Find something to be grateful for.
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.
