Often we feel as if until our circumstances are different, we can't be happy. We feel as if there's no reason to smile when we're not where we want to be in life yet. This couldn't be further from the truth. Joy is a gift to us. We can access it any time we want. [...]
Our relationships are very important, but we need to realize that they're also a reflection of ourselves. If you cannot seem to get along with someone in your close circle, perhaps it's something you're identifying in them that you do not like in yourself. There is always something we can learn from every encounter and [...]
Your prayers are not going unanswered. The Universe delivers us signs of reassurance and confirmation and comfort continually throughout the day. It's really just a matter of opening your eyes and trusting yourself enough to accept them for what they are. It could be a word from a stranger, a comment during your favorite TV show, [...]
God will provide everything you need, exactly when you need it. Trust and believe that you will never be lacking in anything that you "need" (not what you "want"). Sometimes we mistake the things we want for the things we need. There's a big difference and when you're in the moment of lusting and craving [...]

You never know someone's struggle until you've walked in their shoes. People are fighting battles everyday mentally, emotionally and physically and we might know nothing about it. Do not be too quick to judge or speak. Our tongue is a powerful weapon that can be used against others as well as ourselves. What you speak [...]
Today is Father's Day. If you have a father, be grateful. If you have a mother, be grateful. If yours have passed on or you didn't have biological parents present in your life, be grateful for the parental substitutes that stepped forward and took on that role. We choose our parents, it's not the other [...]
When things don't seem to be panning out the way we had hoped, it makes a lot of us want to stop dead in our tracks and just not try anymore. I've experienced this first-hand, and I'm sure a lot of you have too. Some days you just want to not work or not get [...]
