Our actions in the present build the staircase to the future. The question is whether that staircase is going up or down.

I might define a ‘journey’ as something that life itself calls me to. And I might then define a ‘trip’ as something I create to avoid a journey by mimicking a journey. And while fear is most certainly part and parcel of both, the latter is emboldened by fear while the former surrenders to it.

With God, the fear of failure is slain cold by success that is already hot on the way.

I succeed because I learn to accept failure. I find victory because I learn to accept defeat.

Surrender is a choice, it is never a calling.

To look beyond our horizons is to acknowledge that we’ve hemmed ourselves in by creating them in the first place.
