It is far more effective and less frustrating to change someone's attitude or opinion with concrete evidence than words and arguments. Show proof in your own life.

The Master Plan is in the Master's Hands

Don't waste too much time trying to figure out the outcome. You could make better use of your time by putting in the work to get to the outcome. Remember that the master plan is in the hands of the Master.

Just Do the Work

Do what you know to do. Diligently do the work you've been assigned already. What you don't understand will eventually reveal itself.

Just Rise & Shine

Enjoy the day as it unfolds. You had no control of the sunrise. You will have no input when the sun sets.

Keep Going!

If you work diligently and obediently, God will always give you a break when you need one and a reward when you deserve one.

Gratitude is Your Gift

Take time to acknowledge and appreciate your blessings and say thank you to God and others. Gratitude is a gift of joy to your own heart.

A Change In Perception Can Change Your Life

Change the way you look at people and situations. See the value and the good. It is amazing how a change in perception can change your life.

He Has Given You the World

You are not God's gift to the world. The world is God's gift to you. Are you appreciating the gift?

Teachers Can Still Learn

Sometimes you will learn when you're teaching, gain when you're giving, be pushed when you're lifting, be nurtured as you're tending. Keep your hands and heart open.

R.E.S.T. (Relax-Exhale-Sit-Tune Out) is a four letter word that should be spoken and practiced more often.

Look for what God sees in the other person. This will make social interaction go so much better. You'll be kinder and more patient. You'll be a better friend. You'll have better friendships.

It Is Well

Just because it didn't go as you wanted, planned or expected doesn't mean it didn't go well.

Quality of Life

Your quality of life is not based on people's opinions of you. It is based on your opinions of others.

Perfect Only on the Outside Doesn't Count

Which is better? Enjoy yourself and look weird to others. Or look perfect to others and be miserable.

Pain Won't Last Forever But Sorrow Can If You Let It

Pain won't last forever, but sorrow can if you let it. Pleasure will eventually come to an end, but joy never has to.

Through it All

Your journey will continue. There will be ups and downs, highs and lows, success and failure, boredom and excitement, pleasure and pain. On and on it will go. There is no point in the journey that will last forever. But the journey itself will never cease. Just know that grace will sustain you through it all.

Kindness Has No Cost

Instead of using your thoughts, energy and resources searching for the perfect, most genuine and true, kindest and most considerate, loving and most encouraging friend, be genuine and true, compassionate and tenderhearted with whomever you are blessed to encounter.

Make Peace with the Day

Be at peace with the day. Don't fight it. Wrestle for control of it. Try to impose your will on it. Let go and enjoy the day as it unfolds.

So High

When you humbly surrender, it doesn't make you so low that people walk over you.  It raises you up so high that people see God's light in you.

It's Not Your Problem

God has got it all under control.  The world with its problems and affairs are not your responsibility.  Your loved ones.  Your neighbor.  Even yourself.  Just do what He tells you to do and leave the rest in His capable hands.

Experience Your Blessings

Enjoy your blessings when you have them.  Don't worry about how long or short they will last.  If you worry about that, you will miss the experience and be left with only the memory.

You Can't Beat God Giving But You Can Follow Suit

God's gifts are especially made for you and given for no other reason than that He loves you. Let yours be the same.

Breathe In Your Blessings

You are okay right where you are. Value yourself and your blessings.

The Seasons Always Return

Be brave enough and humble enough to let go of what is too much for you until you are ready to embrace it fully.

Work It!

Accept yourself as you are. Appreciate your qualities. Work with what you have.

Today is All That Exists

Just enjoy the blessings of today. Nothing else is real. Today is all that exists. Everything else exists only in your mind.

Hold On Tight to Joy

Do whatever you must to hold onto your joy.

Laugh to Keep From Crying

Don't let circumstances frustrate you. When you find yourself getting tense, laugh at the foolishness of your pride in thinking you're in control.
