Having a foreign exchange student has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my whole family 🥰 6 out of 5 ⭐️ Highly recommend

The avg young person today is on course to spend 25 years of their life on their phone. (Plus more on other screens). Most of them don't want to live this way, but feel trapped. How about we delay giving smartphones and tablets till at least 14? thetimes.com/uk/technology-…

Live like your obituary; leave a legacy. 💕

Gut feeling is a God-given gift. You can’t outsmart it. Explaining it away is often a disservice. You don’t have to be rewarded with knowledge on the other side of a decision made by your gut. You can be proud when you use your God-given gift whether or not you see the why. 💝

Underrated life skill: Knowing when you're the problem. Self-awareness is a massive advantage. Not everything is someone else’s fault. Not every mess is external. Sometimes the pattern is you. And if you're self-aware enough to own it, you'll be strong enough to change it.

In unhealthy relationships, people walk on eggshells to avoid conflict. They tell you what you want to hear. In healthy relationships, people have the courage to address conflict. They tell you what you need to hear. Silence protects fragile ties. Candor strengthens real bonds.

Intelligence depends on more than cognitive horsepower. It requires cognitive flexibility. The faster the world evolves, the greater the cost of rigidity. Stubbornness is a path to getting trapped in the past. The future belongs to those with the courage to change their minds.

Feelings are fickle, thoughts can’t always be trusted, but values are worth invaluable. 🥰

Pleasant people are contagious

Sometimes I simply remind patients that sooner or later they will have to relinquish the goal of having a better past. Irvin D. Yalom #past

When you get defensive about feedback, you fail twice. You fail to learn today, and you fail to encourage people to keep teaching you tomorrow. If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth. A key to growth is showing that you're coachable.
