You know the saying, "when one door closes, another one opens" ? As hard as it is to hear people say catchy little phrases like this when you're upset, hurt, confused, etc., this one has a lot of truth in it. Sometimes God has to literally take things away from us to make room for [...]
Life is one big mental challenge. When your mind is on point everything seems to follow suit and fall into place. When you can wake up, set your intentions and keep a positive attitude throughout your day no matter what happens - then you're on your way to success (even if you don't feel it). [...]
Your thoughts are powerful weapons. They can manifest abundance and yet they can also bring to life fears. Once I learned this, I wondered why this wasn't a part of any school's curriculum. If we could learn how powerful our thoughts actually are, we can practice steering them in the right direction from a young [...]
What you give is what you get in return. People are not always going to reciprocate that kindness or generosity that you put out, but put it out there anyway. The right ones will return it to you at the right time. Remember that when you seek revenge or you practice hatred - it may [...]

Charles Caleb Colton once said, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." I beg to differ and I think Charles would switch up that proverb had he actually been "imitated." However, it's usually those who haven't, that cling to that phrase. Personally, I find imitation to be unoriginal. Here's the thing - each of us [...]
Ground yourself - keep your feet pressed firmly on the ground and remind yourself to stay humble. God has blessed you with all that you have - everything! You wouldn't have been woken up this morning and reading this if you weren't blessed. You wouldn't be able to breathe and function, work, love, joke, laugh, [...]
