“The real champions in life are so humble and gracious. They just continue doing what they do without all the posturing. If you’ve got the real thing, you don’t have to flaunt a loud imitation.”

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

You always project on the outside how you feel on the inside.

Opportunity never knocks; it is within you.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

The truly successful person inspires others to do more than they have thought possible for themselves.

Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.

The less you try to impress, the more impressive you are.

The trouble with most of us is that we stop trying in trying times.

How you spend your time is far more important than all the material possessions you may own or positions you may attain.

Procrastination is the fear of success.

When you visualize, then you materialize. If you’ve been there in the mind you’ll go there in the body.

Listening without bias or distraction is the greatest value you can pay another person.

Habits are like submarines; they run silent and deep.

The price of success is to bear the criticism of envy.

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.

When we, by the working of mercy and grace, be made meek and mild, we are fully safe; suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath.

Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.

All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.

Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.

Luxury, to me, is not owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.

Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void.

To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am and what God’s grace means.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
