If you don’t love yourself, you won’t be happy with yourself. If you can’t love yourself, you can’t love anyone else. You can’t give the love you do not have. You can’t make anyone love you without loving yourself first.
Every time you mistreat someone, you reveal the part of you that lacks love and needs to heal.
The tests we face in life’s journey are not to reveal our weaknesses but to help us discover our inner strengths. We can only know how strong we are when we strive and thrive beyond the challenges we face.
The most painful moments and memories eventually lead to the greatest strengths and growth in life.
Without forgiveness and love, you will live with resentment, bitterness, malice and strife which result in more pain. You can never love without forgiving. Forgiveness deepens your ability to love and frees you from pain.
Pain and love cannot be in the same space. You can never love anyone in pain. You cannot truly love yourself in pain. The more pain you carry in your heart, the harder it becomes to love anyone including yourself.
What you feed your mind, will lead your life.
Staying in an unhealthy relationship that robs you of peace of mind, is not being loyal. It is choosing to hurt yourself mentally, emotionally and sometimes, physically.
Everyone grows but not everyone becomes mature.
The storm you face is your teacher. The experience you gain is your lesson. The life you make from it all is your blessing. Always remember, the teacher teaches a lesson that becomes a blessing. Embrace the storm and watch your life change as you utilize the lesson. Your better days lie ahead... just hold on!
If you are busy focusing on the falling bricks, you will never realize that they are truly stepping stones you need to cross over to the next phase of your life.
You cannot operate from a place of love when you are emotionally unstable.
Until you are willing to learn the lessons, pay attention to details, and become patient with yourself, you will keep repeating the same patterns over and over again.
Different plants thrive together in a well nurtured garden. Just as they thrive, they pass on a message to mankind – God created us all to thrive with one another and planted love in our hearts for this reason. Let’s learn to embrace each other, knowing Love is all we have to keep us growing and going.
Kindness carries no price tag neither does it require making a purchase. A random act of kindness can change someone’s life... choose to be kind always.
You can NEVER be poor by giving and showing love to others.
A butterfly does not return to a caterpillar after it is mature. We must learn to grow and evolve into a stronger, wiser and better version of ourselves. Life occurs in stages and taking a step at a time is key to learning and growing.
You cannot love if you cannot forgive.
Never stop loving while living, when you stop loving, you stop living.
