“What do faith and fear have in common besides the letter F? They both believe in a future that hasn’t happened yet. Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future. Don’t believe the lies of fear. Choose faith and believe in a positive future today!”
— Jon Gordon
“Teach your children to use what they can use and to allow other children to use what they can’t. Let them play with a toy for as long as their interest holds, then show them how to exchange it for another.

“Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.”
