"Wisdom is exercised in the choices you..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer

“If you don't like yourself, you're going to have a really hard time getting along with anyone else.”

“A BMW can't take you as far as a diploma.”

“Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.”

“Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure.”

“I understand that fear is my friend, but not always. Never turn your back on Fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed. My father taught me that, along with a few other things that have kept my life interesting.”

“It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.”

“I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.”

“I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.”

“One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”
