This book will provide you with a plethora of motivational and inspirational quotes from some of the greatest people that ever lived. Some have traveled through their journey of life and many others still are and they have gifted us with some of the greatest thoughts, examples, and testimonies for life ever.

The greatest book ever created the Bible is also referenced with some thought-provoking guides on how we should carry ourselves and live our lives. We are constantly in thought like the statue “The Thinker” about what we should do with our lives, how to live our lives, and the choices that we make are critical because they will determine our destiny. This is not something that we just want to flip a coin and see if it comes down heads or tails. We need to be grateful for the life God gave us and live it to his glory.

As much as Christians or believers of God would like to believe that, just because we acknowledge God in our lives, we should never have any sorrow. That is untrue. Just believing this makes us commit sin because then we are not humble, but haughty. We will all have challenges, disappointments, and unfair situations arise in our lives, but as believers of God, we are to handle ourselves so that unbelievers will want to become like us. We are to TRUST, HAVE FAITH, and BELIEVE that GOD has our back and will keep us lifted above, fight our battles, and always cause us to Triumph!
