Real power and authority is not power and authority over others, but over the self.
I’m a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I’m lazy, yet I’m ambitious. I don’t like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don’t care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I’m a conflicted contradiction. If I can’t figure myself out, there’s no way anyone else has.
And how odd it is to be haunted by someone that is alive.
God will provide you with everything you need to succeed. And always remember that where God leads, He provides.
Be patient with yourself. Remember, everyone moves at their own pace in life. You’re exactly where you need to be right now. It’s okay to take your time.
When thinking about life, remember this: No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can change the future.
The best weight you’ll ever lose is the weight of other people’s opinion of you. And life is too short to let loneliness drive you back to toxic people.
Rumors can make you dislike innocent people. Don’t judge people off of what others are saying about them. Be wise, get to know them for yourself, then form your own opinion. The people talking to you, may be the ones you need to stay away from.
True love should heal, not hurt. And always remember it is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
Feeling out of place in old toxic environments we used to feel comfortable in, is often an overlooked sign of growth.
Sometimes you think that you want to disappear, but all you really want is to be found.
God made you different. Don’t ruin that trying to be like everybody else.
Take regular breaks. Regular breaks are crucial for maintaining productivity and preventing burnout. Short breaks help refresh your mind, restore energy and improve overall focus and creativity.
You become unstoppable when you work on things that people can’t take away from you. Things like your mindset, character, personality, transparency, your entire being.
Nothing feels better than knowing God loves you, that He is always there for you, and that He will always take care of you.
Many people fear being judged or criticized by others. This fear can prevent you from expressing your ideas, taking unusual paths and standing up for your beliefs. Overcome that fear!
Self-discipline is the path to successful living.
Great things take time. Be patient. Never give up.
Once you stop worrying, complaining, watching TV, procrastinating, fearing failure, trying to be perfect, waiting to be inspired, caring what people think, and repeating the same mistake, you can reclaim your life and be free.
Trust is confidence born of two dimensions: character and competence. Character includes one’s integrity, motive and intent with people. Competence includes their capabilities, skills, results and track record. Both dimensions are vital.
Stay positive. Stay fighting. Stay brave. Stay ambitious. Stay focused. Stay strong.
