The message in church this morning reminded me of a beautiful quote by Mother Teresa, "If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway..." Let your light shine bright. Give your gifts to the world. Offer them to the world [...]
Don't allow pressure from external sources to sway you from what brews in your heart. Pressure is always going to exist. It's going to come when you don't want it, need it or especially when you least expect it. When it hits you, stop and breathe! Refocus on what's within you. Don't let external factors [...]
None of us are perfect. There are a lot of us that strive for perfection and it's usually the ones that do, that fall time and time again because though we all realize no one can be perfect, there's something in a "perfectionist's" brain that makes them think they can still achieve it.

You are an individual. That means you are unique. You have gifts others don't have, you have thoughts and visions that others cannot fathom.

I may have an unconventional way of getting my wisdom across at times, but that's my personality! Today's lesson is in self-love and we can all take a page from Kanye West's book when it comes to that because confidence comes from self-love. You can't love others unless you love yourself first and if you [...]

Often we put things last on our to-do lists because we fear them. That fear could be around the energy you need to place into that person or project or [...]
If you're just getting by. If you're mucking through. If you feel like you're being forced to do the things you do rather than enjoy the things you do everyday - then I ask you to rethink a few things in your life. Sure we have bills to pay - the whole world does. Yes [...]
Today ask yourself this one question. Are you making excuses in your life? It's usually the mistakes that continue to repeat themselves that demonstrate we're missing a lesson we should have learned. If the same situations keep happening to you or you continuously get treated the same way - stop making excuses. Stop blaming others [...]
