Do not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

To protect your energy:- It’s okay to cancel a commitment. It’s okay to not answer that call. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to want to be alone. It’s okay to take a day off. It’s okay to do nothing. It’s okay to speak up. It’s okay to let go.

Be humble. You may be wrong. Be hard working. You may be luckier. Be kind. You may be remembered. Be generous. Others may reciprocate. Be curious. You may stay teachable. Be trustworthy. You may see further. Be forgiving. You may feel lighter. Be yourself. You will be happier.

You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith things will work out. Let go a little and let life happen.

"Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness." - Napoleon Hill

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world your best & it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

You are not your past. Maybe u messed up, maybe u did something you regret. U no longer have to feel guilty about it. Your mistakes are not your identity. Don’t let anyone or even yourself confine the potential of who u can become to your past. You can get better.

The best way to turn down the volume is to avoid turning it up in the first place.

#SafetyForAllSunday: Regardless of who you are, how old you are, where you are from, or who you love, remember that you are worthy of safety and respect.
