I never expected those prayers to replace the need for bold and aggressive action on my part.
My habit of prayer was part of who I was and my faith was the fuel for everything I did. I prayed for guidance and strength and for God to take care of the things that I couldn’t. I knew that God expected me to be the best I could possibly be and then he would handle the rest.”
“You’re only seeing a small chapter or scene in a much bigger story that God is moving you along in.
believe the Good Lord tends to put us in the right place. We have to trust that. We have to trust that God knows our purpose better than we do. That requires humility and it’s not easy.
“We also have to be careful not to confuse a temporary problem with a permanent one. God has a way of molding us into the people we’re supposed to become and often times when we think we’ve reached the end of the road, it’s simply a new beginning.”
Faith must always be first. It’s the foundation of everything in your life and it’s the only source of confidence you can rely on no matter what.”
“Before making any significant decision or taking any important action, you have to ask yourself, ‘Am I doing this based on faith or fear? Am I doing this based on confidence or worry?’
“Remember this: success follows faith and failure follows fear. Make sure you choose faith over fear.”
I CHOOSE FAITH OVER FEAR. I have complete and total confidence that I have what it takes to accomplish the dreams in my heart. Most failures are a result of people falling to their fears and worries. I am fearless. I am fully-committed to pursuing my dreams, developing the unique talents I’ve been blessed with, and becoming the person I was born to be. I know that if I give my absolute best today, I can safely trust God to put me where I need to be and to make sure that everything works out for the best. I believe I am here for a reason and
I have everything I need to fulfill my purpose in life. Success follows faith and I have unbreakable faith.
“You can choose faith or you can choose fear. But make no mistake about it, the choice is completely up to you. You have the talent;
Now, it’s up to each of you to convince your mind that you have what it takes to make your dreams come true.”
you have the power to control your destiny.
This sense of empowerment changes everything.
I focus on only the things I have total control over: MY EFFORT AND MY ATTITUDE. By focusing on only what I can control, my effort and my attitude in the present moment, I will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing the results will take care of themselves. I will not lose myself in the past or worry about the future. I will focus on the present. If I truly give my maximum effort to be the best that I can be today, I will be successful. NOTHING can take that from me.
I LOVE WHAT I DO AND I ATTACK EACH DAY WITH JOY AND ENTHUSIASM. I am passionate about what I do for a living. I’m grateful for the talents and interests I’ve been uniquely blessed with; they lead me to my purpose in life. I am fully committed to doing something I love and something I was born to do. I do not wait for someone to hand me the life I want to live, I go out and create it on my own. My passion for what I do gives me a competitive advantage over those who don’t have the same level of passion. I zap negative thoughts and focus on the positive. I find opportunities in every obstacle.

I DREAM BIG AND I IGNORE THE NAYSAYERS. I set huge goals and I fully commit myself to achieving those goals. I ignore those who tell me to be more “realistic” about my goals. Naysayers represent the voices of fear and cynicism and I will not listen to them. I remind myself of all the reasons my dreams CAN come true. I will become the best version of myself and the only way to reach my full potential is to aim as high as possible. Every day, a person makes the choice to either move forward or backward. Today, I choose to move forward and chase my biggest dreams. Miracles will occur when I

“Do this before practice. Do it before a test. Do it before a night out with friends. Do it before calling home to your parents. Do it before asking out a girl you like. Do it before making a big decision. Do it before making a small decision. Do it even when you’re bored and not sure what you should be thinking about.
“These beliefs need to become a part of who you are. I’m here to tell you, they will change your life. They will make you become the person you were born to be.
Who cares what the outsiders, the critics, and the naysayers think?
I knew that choosing to embrace the five beliefs on that little card would assure me that I could overcome whatever came my way in the future.
