Nothing is more important than honesty in prayer. There are no pretensions in prayer, so the best place to begin is wherever you are.
The very word possibility creates a mental climate conducive to creativity.
Never sell tomorrow short. There's plenty to get excited about. Be filled with expectation, hope and confidence. Believe something good is going to happen - and it usually will.
Since it doesn't cost a dime to dream, you'll never shortchange yourself when you stretch your imagination.
