“Nothing is predestined. The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.”

“A brick can be used to represent a ruin, or the beginning of new construction. With a brick, the past is the future.
”

“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”

“God can make a new beginning with people whenever God pleases, but not people with God. Therefore, people cannot make a new beginning at all; they can only pray for one. Where people are on their own and live by their own devices, there is only the old, the past.”

“The things you want are always possible; it is just that the way to get them is not always apparent. The only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life is you, and that can be a considerable obstacle because you carry the baggage of insecurities and past experience.”

“We are not exceptional in our beginnings, we become exceptional by refusing to accept the obstacles which destiny has placed before us.”
