“What an injustice on your life that would be: to base your decisions on fear.”

You were worth it when he died on the cross for you.

Death will render all your possessions useless.

It is okay to not be in control.

Helpless does not equal worthless.

Other people need to be seen too. So be kind.

It is important allow to feel what I feel, but not to let it dictate my day or week or life.

Even though negativity begs for my attention, I will still choose to focus on the joy in my life.

Allow yourself to fill with grace, for you have come so far.

Do not give the devil a chance to work on you.

Look to the future with hope, not envy.

You can complain about what you can’t change or you can focus on what you can change.

I know that god put me on this earth for a reason. The reason may not be fully known to me yet but I know I will fulfill that reason because I have him.

I desire your design for me, lord. Make of me what you will.

Struggle does not mean it is the end.

Let him transform everything you are, so you can become everything you are meant to be.

You have come this far. What makes you think that will change in the future?

To not move around, observe, and analyze, in order to make the best decisions possible, was to fail as a leader and fail the team.

A leader must lead but also be ready to follow. Sometimes, another member of the team—perhaps a subordinate or direct report—might be in a better position to develop a plan, make a decision, or lead through a specific situation.

You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.

I held the snake at VMA’s one time and decided to go ahead 20 years later and become the motherfucking snake myself.

Staying ahead of the curve prevents a leader from being overwhelmed when pressure is applied and enables greater decisiveness.

Instead of letting the situation dictate our decisions, we must dictate the situation.

It is only in our decisions that we are important.

It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are.
