“If there be any feeding of Christ, any drop of heavenly dew, or any spark of God's good Spirit within you, stir it up; be careful to build and edify, first yourselves, and then your flocks in this most holy faith. I say, first yourselves; for he who will set the hearts of other men on fire with the love of Christ, must himself burn with love. It is want of faith in ourselves, my brethren, which makes us retchless (careless) in building others. We forsake the Lord's inheritance, and feed it not. What is the reason of this? Our own desires are settled where they should not be. We ourselves are like those women who have a longing to eat coals, and lime, and filth: we are fed, some with honour, some with ease, some with wealth: the gospel waxeth loathsome and unpleasant in our taste: how should we then have a care to feed others with that which we cannot fancy ourselves? If faith wax cold and slender in the heart of the prophet, it will soon perish from the ears of the people. (Sermon on part of St Jude's Epistle, p. 552)”

“The moment that you consciously decide to terminate the repetitiveness of diminishing all that you are, because of outside and inside noise, is the moment that you will officially take control of your own narrative.”

“Aside from FAMILY, there is nothing more important in this world than Self-Education. You too can unmasks the #1 truth about Personal Development; ANYONE can Develop a Genius Mindset and Unleash Their Full Potential and Achieve Unimaginable Success. -J.R. Fitzgerald”

“One of the most profound choices we have is to sculpt the lens through which we experience our surroundings, the world. We can choose cynicism, a lens that dims the vibrancy of life, or we can choose wonder, a lens that magnifies the beauty in the ordinary. This choice shapes our reality... It's a choice we can revisit every morning, like opening the curtains to a new day.”
