When God breathed His life into you, He put a crown on your head. The Psalmist called it a crown of glory and honor.

Hurting people hurt other people. Don’t let what they say about you define who you are.

Character is developed in the tough times, when we’re not getting our way but we keep doing the right thing.

Whether you’re wearing Gucci or Wal-Mart, whether it’s Calvin Klein or Fruit of the Loom, your value never changes.

If you’re going to reach your full potential, you can’t be a weakling; you’ve got to be a warrior.

It’s freeing when you realize you don’t have to prove anything. Some of the people you’re trying to outperform aren’t even watching.

Sometimes you need to thank God for what didn’t happen. Thank Him for the enemies He’s stopped that you knew nothing about.

Everybody is dealing with something. Make up your mind that you’re not going to let it sour your life.

How somebody treats you doesn’t change your value. What they say or don’t say doesn’t lessen who you are.

Nothing you do will make you any more valuable. Nothing you achieve, nothing you overcome. You are valuable right now.

It may look like it is there to defeat you, but God is going to use it to increase you. No bad break can stop you.

Don’t discount what God has created. Don’t go around feeling ordinary when in fact you are extraordinary.

Value is not based on what you do or who you know. That’s all superficial. Your value comes from your Creator.

Get rid of the excuses. You may have had a rough start, but you’re not going to have a rough finish.

God is called the author and the finisher of our faith. What He started in your life He will finish.

Nothing that’s happened to you can keep you from your destiny. The only thing that can stop you is you.

God calls you a masterpiece. You’re one of a kind. He made you unique; there will never be another you.

Sometimes small things keep us from God’s best. You have to get good at letting things go.
