You will never accept gratitude as a solution to your problems, until you have reached the last stage of grief--acceptance.

Sometimes the reason God doesn't show up to win your battles is because he already put inside of you the power to end it.

Pride is nothing more than false courage without long term solutions.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing that solutions don’t come from individuals, but rather experiences.

The problem will never be diversity, the challenging of tradition or the one person that questions the way life should be. The person that shows the world that this is wrong, there is a perspective you didn't consider, this is worth fighting for and being different is a blessing, will always be the solution for change.

The solution is so obvious, but for so many of us we would travel a hundred miles out of the way to avoid it, gather a thousand opinions on the way and take a pit stop in fear to check our map before we proceed through hell. Heaven was always a direct flight with no layovers.

When you are standing in the middle of a storm you have two choices: Pray to God that it goes away. Or, start praying to God that he gives you the wisdom to figure out why you're standing in the middle of a storm.
