No one dies a virgin, Life screws us all
Most of us are not leaders today because, in our hearts we don't believe that is who we are.
In life, purpose is defined by the thing that makes you angry. Martin Luther was angry; Mandela was angry; Mahatma Gandhi was angry; Mother Teresa was angry. If you are not angry, you do not have a ministry yet.
No matter how many people celebrate your gifts, don't ever think that you are more important to them than your gift is to them. This is why many people fail: They fail because they think that people came to follow them.
The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation.
The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.
God wants to supply your needs from a place you never expected, through people you never knew, in ways you never thought, but first you have to believe that it is possible. Once you understand that His ability to meet your needs is bigger than your job or your business, you will find that your source of life is bigger than the resources that you have been accumulating.

What is needed is, in the end, simply this: solitude, great inner solitude.
Put your trust in God and just go calmly on your way.
