Do not spend any of your life living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by other people’s expectations of you. To quote Steve Jobs “Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” You are worth it.
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
There are blessings in this day for you. Do not be distracted by the obstacles in front of them. Get pass the obstacles and get your blessings. You deserve every single one of them!
Expect to experience love in your life today. Do not box love in and only anticipate it in one particular way but expand your imagination and expect to experience love today in a new way. Help tune your perception toward love by offering it as often as you can. Present it in a kind word, a smile or an act of kindness. Expect to experience love today.

We are not to be boastful but we should be clear and confident that God has created us for great things; we are marvelous and fierce; and the best is yet to come.
There are some things in life that are an absolute guarantee. One is if you improve, expand and increase your prayer life; your relationship with God will improve, expand and increase.

It seems cruel when someone says to us; the past is the past, get over the bad things that happened, it’s time to move on. But there does come a point when you really do have to decide to move on. Our memories remain and what we have learned remains but we take control of our present and future when we put our past in its proper perspective and press forward.

Jealousy weighs us down. It is one of those feelings all of us deal with. We may be jealous of someone’s looks or talent, or maybe even their favor or fortune.

Jealousy may show up but you do not have to entertain it, send it away with gratitude.
