"The truth is you and I are in control of only two things - how we prepare for what might happen and how we respond to what just happened. The moment when things actually do happen belongs to God."
"Don't take shortcuts; if I want to be true to my beliefs, then shortcuts do not exist."

"Don't downgrade your dream to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny."
"If I embrace who I am it will open doors not shut them. If your faith won't fit in the door that opens then I argue do not walk through that door. The door that God has opened for you will fit your faith."
"I know from my own experiences that if you will put your career in God's hands and trust him, you can't account for all the ways he will bless you. When you step out in faith, he will open doors and bring you opportunities that will surpass even your wildest expectations. . . . If I have learned anything, it's this: to get where you want to go, you first have to become the person God wants you to be."
"When you get something that you don't work for, you won't know how to value or maintain it."
"Anything you pray for, you need to prepare for."
