My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
Courage – a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.

If you ever think about giving up, remember why you held on for so long.

If you face a challenging task from God today, ask yourself, “How would Jesus handle this?” Then go and do the same.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.
We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.
