LIFT YOURSELF UP
I plunged into the job of creating something from nothing . . . Though I hadn’t a penny left, I considered cash money as the smallest part of my resources. I had faith in a living God, faith in myself, and a desire to serve.
Ask yourself:
In what ways can I strengthen my faith so my spiritual resources are just as — even more important — on my success journey than my Þnancial resources?
LEAVE A LEGACY OF FAITH
I leave you love. I leave you hope. I leave you the challenge of developing conÞdence in one another. I leave you respect for the use of power. I leave you faith. . . . Believe in yourself, learn, and never stop wanting to build a better world.
