#LIFE
STUFF


A person's mind can be his most
vulnerable threat or most valuable asset.

Seeds of greatness are buried
within every soul.

Never look down on anyone, because
you never know who's looking up to you!

Use the crap from your past
to fertilize your future!

If life wasn't meant to teach
us something, we would
feel tested at nothing.

Dreaming is when your heart
can fantasize what your
mind can't rationalize.

What we let life make of us
has everything to do with
what we make of it.

Your dreams don't hang on the
hinges of other people's opinions.

Your dreams are the only thing
that should suffer from insomnia;
for real dreams never sleep.

It's not about how far you've been,
it's about how far you'll go.

The hand that is dealt to you isn't
as important as how you hold it.

Your passion is your reaction to
something that brings you satisfaction.

We tend to be all about anything as
long as it tends to be all about us.

You can always tell how tight of a
reign a man holds over his tongue
when you hear his mouth running.

Inconveniencing yourself for others
with the right attitude can teach
you how to be considerate.

Investing yourself into another person's
life begins when you can make his
interests more valuable than your own.

Some people make money;
others make a living.

It's more than your income that
will determine your outcome.

One good thing about burning
bridges is you have places for
new bridges to be built.

If you can't take criticism don't
try to make a difference.

For a lot of people, criticism
comes just before compromise.

Be careful who you share your
dreams with because the people you
think would be happy for you are
the ones who start hatin' on you!

You know you've met someone shady
when he always seems to leave you
in the dark about everything.

The best way to get out of the dark
is to simply reach for the light.

Blowing off steam has never
put out the first fire.

Flying off the handle will never
hit the nail on the head.

Venting is the process by which we
blow off steam in order to cool down.

People who are blind
never saw it coming!

A man who won't listen has no
advantage over a man who can't hear.

Face your oppositions and you
may see more opportunities.

Great minds aren't the only
minds that think alike.

Small minds always seem to
have the biggest heads.

Rubbing someone the wrong way may
not classify as touching that person's life.

A good memory is the mind's
present from the past that it
can give to its future.

Become the change you need to be, and
you'll see the change you want to see.

Often times change looks like
an interruption, but after a while
we learn it's an intervention.

An unlearned mind is in better
shape than an unteachable one.

If the change isn't easy, it's
probably essential.

Change isn't trying harder;
it's trying different!

A man who won't heed his own advice is
like a bee that won't eat its own honey.

Sometimes we don't realize
how much we need to change
until we have changed.

If nothing is making sense, it's probably
time for something to change.

Failure is a pot hole, not a stop sign.

Your worst moment in life may be the
inception of your life's greatest change.

If you don't like the way life looks, you
just need a change in perspective.

What you decide in your mind will
become an inevitable act in time.

Patience is the right frame of mind
in the wrong frame of time.

Ugly words are a bad reflection
of a beautiful mind.

There are more prisoners behind the
bars of their minds than there are
prisoners behind the bars of time.

If you don't have a vision, now is
the time to start looking for one.

Take the time to meditate ... you
just may think of something.

Saying nothing is much more
rewarding than saying something
that could be regretting.

There is nothing wrong with talking
as long as you are saying something.

If what you say doesn't make
someone think, then what you
think may not be worth saying.

Desiring opportunities for success does
not mean you dismiss opposition.

Being lazy must be the most confusing
job a person can have because he
never knows when he is finished.

Pride is when the devil unties your
shoe so you trip over your own foot.

Grace is when the devil's
plans fall through.

The difference between being in motion
and being in action is purpose.

To lead is to learn-to live is to
love; to live as a leader, you must
learn to love one another.

A hero may take off his suit, but a real
hero remembers where he left it.

If God reigns in your life, you're covered.

If your situation is getting harder,
know its end is getting nearer.

The moments we are most thankful are
the moments God is most pleased.

I tell God I want Him to bless my
finances, then He tells me to go to work.

People who live to please everybody
never really please anybody.

You can never fill an internal
void with an external thing.

Hope is never lost for those
who don't lose heart.

Hope is the scope the eye of faith
looks in to view the impossible.

Every heart that is reachable has
a mind that is teachable.

Your faith can't move miraculously until
your heart can move compassionately.

Trust is the anchor we must throw
into the Sea of Hope when the
winds of worry won't stop blowing
against the ship of our dreams.

Your darkest moments could be when
God gives you the brightest ideas.

Word of mouth is the fastest way of
spreading something that is contagious.

Running from risks may lessen
your chances to succeed in
what you're running after.

The choices we make, make
us into who we are.

Don't be who you want to be ...
be who you're supposed to be.

Forgetting your past is sometimes the
best way to remember you have a future.

Swallowing your own pride will help
you avoid eating your own words.

The first step toward affecting
change is accepting change.

Isn't it interesting how your popularity
comes to life when you die?

It's been said the eyes are the
window to the soul. Then the
mouth must be the door!

If you want to keep the peace, then you
better learn how to hold your piece!

We must be willing to accept everyone
if we want to be able to affect anyone.

It's better to have a small beginning
than no beginning at all.

When you're wondering if you're
gonna make it, don't just find
the...
