When you know you’re supposed to take a step of faith, don’t stay where it’s comfortable. You can’t play it safe all your life and be who you were created to be. You have to say goodbye to some things to keep moving forward.
You can’t control what people do; you can’t control what they say. You can control how you respond. My message is very simple; quit giving away your joy. Quit letting the same people upset you. Quit letting the traffic, delays, the things that don’t work out frustrate you.
You have to make up your mind, no matter what people do, no matter what they say, how they treat you, they’re not going to steal your joy.

When you feel bombarded by doubt, fear, opposition, find someone full of faith that will stand in agreement with you. The Scripture says, “One can chase a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight.”
We all want to rise higher, accomplish dreams, overcome obstacles, but as long as we’re only focused on ourselves, we’ll get stuck. God brings people and opportunities across our path so we can be a blessing.
God didn’t accidentally give you the wrong personality, make you too quiet, too outgoing, having the wrong gifts. He matched you for your world. You have exactly what you need to fulfill your destiny.
Every morning, you need to make up your mind, “I’m going to live this day happy. I’m going to see the good; I’m going to be grateful; I’m going to love my family; I’m going to enjoy this day.” If you don’t decide how you’re going to live, circumstances will decide for you.
