"For many people, mediocrity is the norm; they want to do as little as they possibly can and still get by. But God did not create us to be mediocre or average. He doesn`t want us to just barely get by, or to do what everybody else is doing. God has called us to be a cut above. He`s called us to stand out in the crowd, to be people of excellence and in­tegrity. Indeed, the only way to be truly happy is to live with excellence and integrity. Any hint of compromise will taint our greatest victories or our grandest achievements. " ~ Joel Scott Osteen

"When you live with integrity, you will live authentically."
