"No matter what’s happening in your life today, remember: you are not limited by your resources, your family or your background. Almighty God has equipped and empowered you. He has given you creativity, ideas, inventions, skills and talents. Don’t you dare settle for a mediocre life! Today, I call forth the seeds of greatness in you. Today, I declare that your best days are ahead, that you are going to go further than anyone in your family ever did; that you are going to dream bigger and live higher." Minister Joel Osteen
