If you don’t feel good about something, if you have to talk yourself into it, make excuses about why it’s okay, then it’s not worth it. You’ll never go wrong taking the high road. Show God He can trust you, that you’ll go the extra mile to do the right thing.
See yourself as someone that’s well able. The reason you face big challenges is because you have a big destiny. The reason you have great obstacles is because you have greatness in you.
Don’t go through life beating yourself up, thinking about everything you’ve done wrong, dwelling on your mistakes and failures. The moment you asked God to forgive you, He forgave you.
The key to a good life is not giving a fuck about more; it’s giving a fuck about less, giving a fuck about only what is true and immediate and important.
What looks like progress is not always progress. You can study a subject for years and not get any better at doing it. Meanwhile, you can screw up doing it and learn more from that failure than you could have from a hundred books.
