“Give God the first part of every day. Give God the first day of every week. Give God the first portion of your income. Give God the first consideration in every decision. Give God the first place in your life.”

Discipline – Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.

To move forward today, you must learn to say good-bye to yesterday’s hurts, tragedies and baggage. You can’t build a monument to past problems and fail forward.

Make personal growth a daily priority.

Every time you make a mistake, don’t bring up everything that’s wrong with yourself; tell yourself that you’re paying the price for growth and that you will learn to do better next time. Every positive thing you can say to yourself will help.

You never display your character more clearly than when you speak about the character of others.

If you want to be positive, upbeat, and passionate, you need to take responsibility for being that way.

If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.

The more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get.

Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you’ve been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.

The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.

It is our decisions not our conditions that determine our quality of life.

Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.

You can easily determine the caliber of a person by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage him or her.

A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.
