“my joy. That was a great day in my life! Your time is too valuable to worry about pleasing everyone else or making them happy. I know people who spend more time worrying about what others think about them than they do focusing on their own dreams and goals. You’ve got to get free from that.”

“God has so much more in store for you, too. Start making room for it in your thinking. Conceive it on the inside.

You may not be everything you want to be but atleast you can thank God that you’re not what you used to be.”
