“We are put in situations to build our character, not destroy us.”

Dream big, my friend, and never give up. We all make mistakes, but none of us are mistakes. Take one day at a time. Embrace the positive attitudes, perspectives, principles and truths I share, and you, too, will overcome.

For every disability you have, you are blessed with more than enough abilities to overcome your challenges.

Do your best and God will do the rest.

If you’re not happy single, your not gonna be happy married.

Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don’t have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else’s day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.

If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!

One thing I gained in my life is just the need for more Jesus in my life. You never come to a place in your walk with Jesus where you feel like you’ve had enough. That’s a dangerous feeling to have.

Just because I don’t understand god’s plans does not mean that he is not with me.

I encourage you to accept that you may not be able to see a path right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

In life you have a choice: Bitter or Better? Choose better, forget bitter.

God’s love is so real that He created you to prove it.

If you have the desire and passion to do something, and it’s within God’s will, you will achieve it.

I know for certain that miracles happen, but only for those who hang on to hope.

The day you think you have reached your fullest potential is the day that you havn’t.

There’s no point in being complete on the outside when you’re broken in the inside.

If we all could be a true friend to someone, praying and encouraging one person somehow, that’s a first step in being part of making the world a better place.

Greatness is not built in a rush, but with acre, patience and love.

I was born to a dad who was born in the South Bronx while the Bronx was burning, while landlords were committing arson to their own buildings.

I managed to build myself up only for you to knock me back down again.

I will take this heart, these lungs, these hands and I will rebuild.

A jostling scrum of office buildings so mediocre that the only way you ever remember them is by the frustration they induce – like a basketball team standing shoulder to shoulder between you and the Mona Lisa.

Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don’t have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.

It’s not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character.

Any other foundation will fail, but Christ is a sure and steady rock to build your life on.
