“Without commitment, you'll never start. But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish.”

“My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.”

“At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.”

“The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have. That’s what’s going to define you.”

“Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.”

“Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.”

“Dreams are great. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It’s hard work that makes things happen. It’s hard work that creates change.”

“Luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.”

“You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.”

“Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.”

“Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.”

“If you don't fail, you're not even trying.”

“Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship.”

“Success? I don't know what that word means. I'm happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody's eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That's a good day for me.”

“Put God first in everything you do... Everything I have is by the grace of God, understand that. It's a gift.”

“Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.”

“I'd be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I'd been given. I'd be more frightened by procrastination and laziness.”
