"You're never as good as you'd like to be, so there's always something to hope for. And it's never good for all our wishes to be granted, that way we can recognize and appreciate our values. Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment, and it only comes from hard work. Therefore, persevere only through pure intentions, and you'll forever live within the rewards of your positive outcomes!"

"There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid to continue without. Think about it, how often do our insecurities get the best of us when we know inside our hearts they ought not to. Try to remember that what is for you to have, will come to be, and if what you are holding on to is something that isn't working for your well being, it's time to let it go. Fear of discovery is a reluctance to change, and that cannot serve our souls nor our world."

"Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. Within each and every one of us are precious gifts of infinite value that can never be taken away. Things like our beliefs, dreams, visions, morals, talents, creativity, ideas, ambitions, education, and all that we have come to learn and comprehend in our lives. For these riches are safe within you, forever working for your well being and will always be there to see you through."

"Memory is a way of holding on to the things that you love, the things that you are, and the things that you never want to lose. Today, let us pay tribute to all those who fought for our well being so that we could have a future to call our own. Happy Memorial Day everyone!"

“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. Today, give a helping hand to someone who really needs it. For in helping others, we shall help ourselves, and whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.”

"We try with composure, we try with reason, but when all seems to do us no good, we try with force. To succeed by force is no victory at all. There are spiritual reasons why things don't happen the way we expect them to. That is not to say that if one attempt or technique fails to produce results, it must be sign to give up. It simply means that there are certain factors that have not yet developed for the transition to happen. We must always work hard for the good things that we want, but we must also learn to understand that force must never be used to accomplish anything that is good."

"A miserable attitude can affect us all. Without warning, our moods can change drastically due to unresolved or buried issues, and harm not only ourselves, but those closest to us. Though it can be very difficult to explain to someone how you are feeling when you yourself have trouble defining the issue, we must be mindful of how we treat those who worry and care for our well being. Stress, conflict, confusion and misunderstanding may challenge our thoughts and emotions, but love, joy, compassion and comfort begin with friendship and family.”

"No one can have the upper hand. Respect is common ground. Wealth, status, class and seniority cannot make you a better person, or even a "good" person. It is the respect and care you give to others that defines your character. Today, let us not allow ourselves to be judged by those who focus on what we don't have, rather than all the wonderful things that make us good people. Let us no longer imprison our minds and our hearts to the bigotry of those who deem us inadequate and themselves high and mighty. For that seat has been filled, and no man or woman can ever compare."

"Prayers go up and blessings come down, but there is a vast difference between saying prayers and praying. Many pray only when they are hurt, others pray for wants, and some don't know how to pray at all. When we can humbly admit our faults and our weaknesses before God, that is the first step, but we must be consistent. We cannot pray for change on Monday and follow up on Friday. Pray today, pray tomorrow, pray for life. For when we give thanks for strengths and for what we are fortunate to have, all that we need will be provided."

"We know what we like, we know what we dislike, but the greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about. Familiarity shows growth, but let us not be so hesitant or reluctant to embrace all that is unfamiliar. If we are willing to learn and make an attempt to understand we are moving in the right direction."
