Live life with a purpose and live it full out.
Unfortunately, people often identify themselves by their circumstance instead of connecting with their innate truth.
If you want to achieve your greatest self, be your own biggest fan.
How would your life be different if … You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day … You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.
Don't be disheartened by the forces of evil. Nothing can happen that God hasn't allowed. Even resistance is all part of grand orchestration. The devil always has you right were God wants you.
The universe is so well balanced that the mere fact that you have a problem also serves as a sign that there is a solution.
One of the most spiritual things you can do is acknowledge the human aspect of your life. Once you acknowledge the human aspect of your life you'll recognize the spiritual fuel that ignites that human engine.
The reason why fear is so powerful is because you believe it to be stronger than you.
Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of yesterday or the "To-Do" list of tomorrow!
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love … then make that day count!
At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.
Nothing inspires honesty like fear or trouble.
Have a goal, a destination and a clear map. If you don't know where you are going any road will take you there
How would your life be different if … You pretended those around you were deaf to your words? Let today be the day … You let your actions speak and communicate your feelings and intentions.
Listen to what others have to say. When you speak, you're only repeating things you already know. When you listen you learn.
As for your ignorance — do not fear it. Instead be humbled by it and tend to it.
When you live in alignment you stop telling God how big your problems are and start telling your problems how big God is.
A lack of clarity is food for failure.
When we focus our attention on things that are either in the past of in the future, it dilutes our experience of right now. Today is the day you can break from that.
I'm not saying it's wrong to plan for the future. I'm warning not to make today a victim of those plans.
