At some point you will be called to get in the ring with an opponent much bigger than you and you must be willing to take some hits, lose a few rounds, and have the courage to get back in the ring and....do it again because you believe a win is on the way!

Don’t become so enthralled with the promise that you neglect your progress. The launching pad you need to propel you into your next dream home, job or opportunity isn’t going to just show up. You have to build it. Right where you are—right now.

Sometimes destiny requires you to take a fall. I don’t mean a “fall” in terms of a defeat or committing a sin. There will be moments when you’ll have to decide to risk it all. This is the heart of audacity. It’s having the courage to make a decision that could cost you everything.

Can you stretch your faith to ask for something that doesn’t match your location in life, education, background or experiences? This is what God wants from you. Learn how raising your cup will position you to receive more than what you ever could have imagined.

The strategies which got you to good may not get you to exceptional. Sometimes you must shake the cage of complacency you're hiding in and challenge the status quo areas of your life in order for you to get to more.

Sometimes we get stuck in our own story. But the story you’ve written always ends the same way after each chapter: disappointment and more pain. But God’s story ends in victory. In order to step into the story God has written, you will have to abandon your own.
