We can’t change history, but we can create the future.

When we dwell on the past, we tend to want to live there. When we dream of the future, we want to go there. Our dreams are where God paints a picture of a life waiting to be created.

So many of us have abdicated our passions for obligations, as if passion is a luxury for the young, and we must all grow up one day.

The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.

Would you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.
