The dreams God put in your heart and the promises He’s spoken to you are not going to come to pass without opposition, delays, people trying to talk you out of it. If you’re going to reach your destiny, you have to have a made-up mind.
Keep running your race, not looking to the left or to the right. Don’t be bothered by who’s not for you, who’s not cheering you on, and who’s not celebrating you. You’ll never please everyone.
The enemy wants you to curse your future with negative words and thinking. Instead of agreeing, start prophesying victory and favor. You may have big challenges, every voice is telling you it’s not going to work out, but speak the blessing not the curse.
Your job is not to try to make people like you, to try to change people’s minds about you. Your job is to run your race, to be who God has called you to be. Don't worry about the critics and the naysayers.
Let me encourage you to do everything you can to help others. If they simply need you to be there, then take time to do so. Ask God what He wants you to do—and He will answer your prayer so you can do it. #JoyceQuote#HelpOthers
“I’m not so full that I’m full enough. I’m not so in His presence that I can’t come closer. And I’m not so full of His Word that I don’t need more.” - @commanderkellie
Life is too short to live frustrated, upset about things that, many times, we have no control over. People have a right to have their opinion, but you have a right to ignore it. People have a right to be rude, but you have a right to stay happy.
If you’re not giving anything away, nothing new is going to come. Whether or not you keep the blessing depends on what you do with the blessing. When you’re always lifting people, encouraging them, making them better, then blessings are always going to come to you.
Don’t have a weak mentality; have a warrior mentality. You have to be more determined than the opposition. If you give up every time things don’t go your way, you don’t want it bad enough.
The results you achieve in life will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about staying positive & making an effort!

We think of waiting as negative; we don’t like it when nothing is happening. We’re interested in the destination, but God is interested in the journey. He’s working on us along the way.
Waiting doesn’t mean that nothing is happening, that God’s forgotten about us. It’s all a part of the process. We can live in faith knowing that, at the right time, God will get us to where we’re supposed to be.
Sometimes, it’s not happening because we’re not prepared for what God has prepared. If you could see what God has in mind, you would realize you couldn’t handle it right now. You need more time to develop, to grow, to gain experience.
