If I didn’t work as hard as I could, then I think it would be a bit like saying, ‘God, thanks for giving me this ability, but I don’t really care about it. I’m going to do something else, and I’m not going to work quite as hard.
So much of how we act and what we do is based on humility or pride – that’s everything. And when you can humble yourself, you know, we are more like Christ when we can humble ourselves.
Too often, systems of oppression turn those who are the targets of the oppression against one another. It’s happened in the USA between white working class and poor folks on the one hand, and people of color on the other.
For me, it’s a great opportunity on a public platform to get on your knees and humble myself and thank the Lord for all the blessings he’s put in my life.
I definitely consider myself extremely blessed to have great partners in endorsing products. It’s not about being on billboards. I endorse something because I believe in it.
You’ve got to worry about the next play…Keep believing because people aren’t always going to like you but you have to believe in the people around you…You’re going to get knocked down but it’s how many times you get back up.
