I want to encourage you to think about this, right during these devastating trying times and just consider where you can put your confidence in your faith.
Happiness is a choice, not a trade. We have to choose to be happy. And the thing that we need to be really more focused on now, that happiness is joy and for me I can only find joy in the Lord.

It is not clarity you are looking for. It is safety and security.
I think many of you today know exactly what you need to be doing but you're like, "If it was a sure thing, if I was going to make money, if I wasn't gonna put my family in jeopardy, if I wasn't gonna do any of those things without a doubt I would do that." Well, really, don't you think it's the safety and the security that you're searching for and not necessarily the clarity?
There is no assurance out there. There's no sure deals out there at all.

We need to be careful when we say someone is our friend rather than an acquaintance and the reason is because we want people to trust us long-term.
A friend to me is somebody that I've gone in the trenches with, that know my wife, that know my children, that know my grandchildren, people we've been on vacation with, people that we have multiple dinners, we go to movies, we get to know each other, people that borrow things from you and you borrow things from.

I'd like to challenge you in confronting your fears. If you are planning to do something that you have not done before, stop talking yourself out of it. Listen, what could be holding you back is your ego, that you are afraid of becoming a failure.
