The turning point in the life of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis.
Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand' (Matt 3:2, 4:17, 10:7). This is a call for us to reconsider how we have been approaching our life, in light of the fact that we now, in the presence of Jesus, have the option of living within the surrounding movements of God's eternal purposes, of taking our life into his life.
Life begins at 40. I could attempt writing. Life is taking me into different directions.
You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. Success doesn't just suddenly occur one day in someone's life. Neither does failure. Each is a process. Every day of your life is merely preparation for the next. What you become is the result of what you do today.
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning — for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
First Fruits has impacted my life personally and the lives of countless others!
'Performance' gave me doubts about my way of life. Before that, I had been completely involved in the more bawdy side of the film business. But after that, everything changed.
The big new development in my life is, when I turned 80, I decided I no longer have to do four pages a day. For me, it's like retiring.
You meet Rush at a certain point in his life where he's made a decision that he's going to not live by the moral code of being a doctor. He's decided to disengage with that side of his life for various reasons, which we find out through the first season.
And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
The book was in her lap; she had read no further. The power to change one’s life comes from a paragraph, a lone remark. The lines that penetrate us are slender, like the flukes that live in river water and enter the bodies of swimmers. She was excited, filled with strength. The polished sentences had arrived, it seemed, like so many other things, at just the right time. How can we imagine what our lives should be without the illumination of the lives of others?
Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. If you change your thinking, you change your life.
I got a divorce, and I felt like I finally started my career. I started making movies and projects that I just really believed in.
I had my crisis at 30. I was actually really comfortable with 40. Life was in a better place.
Now I just feel like I'm more open to life. I have two children.
I've got big homies that done been through the same thing I've been through and they made it out, changed their life and they come back and snatch young cats up and lecture them and let them know right way to do it.
I do feel like the world is a better and happier place now that my son is here. That's so cliche, but it's true. I just have a new perspective; I'm more driven. Also, the thing that stands out to me is that I'm not as selfish. Before you have a child, you're doing everything for yourself. But now it's about what's best for him, and I'm enjoying that shift.
Sometimes rejection in life is really redirection.
I did two things on my seventy-fifth birthday. I visited my wife's grave. Then I joined the army.
After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all right to be square, simple, and sober.
Then I became interested in drama, and almost by accident, I drifted into film.
The gospel costs nothing but it demands everything.
I love how me deciding to not continue doing 'LA Ink' turns into being 'cancelled.'
I don't dye my hair. It's so fabulous. I had brown hair for so long. I was always getting my roots done. Sometimes I did it myself because I couldn't afford to go to a hair salon. When I turned 60, I decided to see what color I am underneath. I started dyeing my hair a very light blond and then I let it grow out. I cut it very short.
