Something important I have learned is patience, and turning each failure into a learning experience. . Instead of calling them "failures" I call them "lessons". Instead of saying, "I failed at that," I say, "I learned from that." Each failure has taught me something incredibly valuable and by recognizing this I can see the hand of God in my life in situations where most people would feel abandoned by Him.

Sometimes we are tested with a great idea or opportunity just to see if we will act upon it, however the timing may not be right. We are being prepared for something else down the road... When we understand that all things happen for our benefit, and we trust in the Lord, then we can accept what we have termed as "failures" knowing that in the end it will all work out, and we will be happy.

Sometimes when we get so caught up in our dreams we get tunnel vision. It becomes about "me, me, me," and we fail to see those around us who need our help. When this happens we can expect to experience obstacles or as I like to call them, "gentle reminders" that we are not the center of the universe. When we are not using our talents and strengths to bless others, how can we expect the Lord to bless us?

The Lord knows all - His timing and reasoning is perfect. If we really trust Him, then we no longer see our failures as a bad thing. We will see them as an answer to our prayers even if we don't understand how at the moment.

The more interest you show in your spouse, the more interest your spouse will show in you.

There is good all around us, but we get so used to it that we forget to celebrate it. The bad and unfortunate circumstances in our lives do not deserve all of our attention and energy. Remember to look for the good and to give that your full-time and attention. It makes all the difference.

The things you say, the things you don't say, the things you do, or the things you don't do are always sending a loud message to those around you. What kind of message are you sending? Is it a true reflection of who you are?

The way you date (treat) your spouse, truly has an impact inside and outside your marriage.

The world has enough deceit, decay, and despair; be different.
