THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

If you want to accomplish more than survival, more than the average person, you’re going to have to get stronger. Stronger in mind, emotions, and best and appropriate behaviors.

You have to get better every day. I don’t know that this is possible without faith. Faith in what? That’s the question because your faith is only as strong as the object of your faith.

No exceptions.
