Unfavorable experiences don’t lessen your value, for it is rooted in the uniqueness of your story and divine purpose. Nothing external can diminish that. You’re worth more than gold.

You must respect time and circumstance.

Do not trust that which is around you; trust that which is within you.

It’s ok not to know. It’s ok not to have all of the answers to all of the questions good-intentioned people might have relating to the details of your life’s journey.

Don’t forget to smile.

My past makes my present even more remarkable.

I have life. I have the grace of a new day. I have limitless potential. I’m not going through life, I’m growing through life. My vision is clear. My gratitude is boundless.

Look around. Help out. Be good. Find yourself. Smile. Look up. Stick with it. Have mercy. Say thank you.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat anytime and be yourself.

Your first attempt won’t be perfect, but it’ll be done. Make changes, improve, learn and before you know it, that dream that was once only a vision, will be your everyday reality.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

Keep trying things on for size, take your time, keep pushing and keep searching. The right fit is just beyond a few wrongs.

Relinquishing control isn’t about succumbing to your situation, it’s about yielding to your inner voice and acknowledging when enough is enough.

One thing at a time. One day at a time.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

As love is so easily the center of everything today, let it be the same everyday. Love heals. Love soothes. Love replenishes. Love affirms. And love conquers all. So, be love and be loved. 💛

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. -Harriet Tubman

Oftentimes, the problem isn’t that people change; it’s that they stay the same.
