When life surprises you, look for the prize in it. There is a prize in every surprise.

Sometimes the time we spend settling quarrels should be spent moving on.

The gift of a man will make room for him, not his dream but his gift. Joseph’s dream did not make room for him in the palace. No, his gift did that! His dream landed him in the pit.

The things you can't avoid, you can learn from. The lessons you learn will help you avoid a recurrence.

What generates thoughts and ideas are needs. Having many needs therefore isn't a liability but an asset.

Overpreparation can sometimes stand in the way of great work. Are you really preparing hard, or you're just stalling?

Every undesirable outcome is a signal to you to adjust your approach. If you didn't get result the first time, don't rinse and repeat, adjust!!!

Your excellent work may not get seen if you don't promote it.

Recognition is key. You can only utilize to your advantage what you recognize.

Your poor choices are not big enough to derail God's purpose. Rather, they play right into it.
