The enemy of contentment is comparison.
The most contented people are not those with the most stuff, but people with the most purpose.
Compensation gives you something to live on, but calling gives you something to live for. There is frustration at where we are verses where we want to be.
What we keep we lose.
What we give away we keep.
The subject of Giving dominates the Bible. For example, believe is mentioned 272 times. Pray 371 times. Love 714 times. Give 2161 times.
We either are going to set the culture or reflect it.
My life will only be as successful as the cause that I attach it to.
The devil trembles that you will discover your purpose.
Progress isn’t always about moving fast, but it’s about gaining ground.
Personal maturity starts with seeing beyond ourselves, but spiritual maturity begins by putting others before ourselves.
We become blinded by our own needs.
We see people’s differences as barriers.
Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how you respond to it.
Get around people with shared goals.
Get around people who want to see you win.
Enlist 3 people to pray for you.
