You can’t speak life to others if you don’t know how to speak life to yourself. Dead leaves can’t breathe.
Bullies do not just wake up and decide to be one. They are people who have or are experiencing emotional or verbal abuse. All you can do is not retaliate but show them love. Doing so, allows them see what they are missing and need. You can let them see the other side of life when you show love not hurt. After all, we are all products of love and we must choose to demonstrate that above all else.
As a woman, you should not fall in love with a man for what he has but you should connect with his soul and love him for who he is... not who you think he should be.
Without making mistakes, there won’t be lessons learned. Without getting hurt, there won’t be knowledge gained. The only way we grow is by learning from the past. Always be willing to learn and grow daily. It’s how we come to know who we are and what we are made of.
Without failing at one thing, there won’t be an opportunity to try again, learn and grow. Life isn’t static but dynamic. Learn to embrace whatever situation you may face and strive to overcome. Believe in yourself, knowing your best is yet to come.
Always do good when you’re tempted to do evil. The reward in doing good is priceless.
If you spend time judging and criticizing people, you will not have time to heal from your pain or brokenness. You cannot love yourself when you judge or criticize others who are created in God’s image and after His Likeness... in which you are also created. Love cannot operate from a space of pain. Love and hurt cannot reside in the same space.
Love can only be true and free when you are fully healed from painful past and any form of brokenness.
There is strength in every struggle. Struggles create opportunities for you to become stronger, wiser and better. The moment you shift your thinking from “I cannot” to “I must,” you will begin to see ‘Beyond the Pain’ and draw strength from within. Learn to see each obstacle as a stepping stone and watch your life change significantly.
The moment you learn to separate your wants from your needs, your vision becomes clearer.
You cannot receive until you learn to release.
You can have all the titles in the world but if you cannot treat others as you would yourself, you have no love to give!
A Broken Record can still play the best soundtrack. Broken can be beautiful when you allow God work on you.
Love is a choice. You can choose to love or hurt but the consequences you suffer will always be based on the choice you make. No one can force you to choose from the two but the state of your heart, soul and mind determines the one you lean towards. Remember, with hurt you can destroy but with love you can CONQUER!
Your level of ignorance is based on what you believe you know and your ego.
Your thoughts are powerful and hold the power of life and death. Your thoughts trigger your emotions. Learn to tame your thoughts... do not let your thoughts tame you. Learn to tame your emotions... do not let your emotions tame you.
At the end of the day, what matters most is not what tore you apart but the love than binds and heals your heart.
Without living, there will be no learning. Without learning, there will be no growth. Without growth, there will be no change. The only way you learn is by trying. You may make mistakes but you have to remember that doing so will lead to change. Be willing to learn from experiences, grow and live to become better not bitter.
Every choice starts with a decision. Every decision starts with a thought. Every thought starts with a pre-conceived idea. It is up to you to decide what you do with each but always remember that the choice you make will result in the consequence you face.
Your journey is completely yours. It is unique. Others may try to steal part of it, tell it in their words or shape it to suit them. Reality is no one can live it or own it but you. Take charge of your journey, it’s yours and yours alone!
