I read an article yesterday that said that whenever we perceive a lack of something (be it money, food, time, etc.) we become so absorbed by it that our thinking is altered. It went on to say that "scarcity captures the mind." Scarcity meaning a lack or shortage of. Or another definition being, "having seemingly [...]
What do you do when life exhausts you? I hope 'give up' isn't your answer. Circumstances aren't always going to go the way we want them to, but most of the time that's because there's a better way for them to go. Rejection is protection, and it's true what they say - that when one [...]
Stop looking at the things you don't have, and start looking at the things you do have. The things you're taking for granted, someone else is praying for. Don't lose yourself so much in your hopes and dreams that you lose sight of everything you already have going for you. Remember to thank God for [...]
You are going to encounter people in your life who have too much pride to admit when they're wrong. Who are too stubborn to change. Who simply do not want to give you the credit you deserve for the wisdom you have or the things you accomplish in life. They take but do not give. [...]

Sometimes we're so busy looking at what's ahead of us, that we miss what's standing right in front of us. Don't get too busy that you miss life as it's happening in front of you. Don't get so caught up in the future that you miss the present. Sometimes we are focusing on the things [...]
Staying grounded isn't always an easy thing to do. We as humans have so much going on around us that provoke emotions and thoughts, that it's easy to lose our way and sometimes lose our mind. Some people don't fully understand what being grounded means - essentially it means being "well balanced and sensible." Not [...]
You're reaching that breaking point aren't you? That point where things really aren't going your way and even though you were hopeful, you're not quite sure what to do now. Let it go, let it be and give it to God. Things aren't always going to happen on your time, but they will always happens [...]
If you read my post from last night, then you might think I'm repeating myself today but something's telling me to stay with this topic. You were put here for a purpose. Everyone has a purpose. You might not have discovered yours yet and that's ok - that might be part of your journey. Maybe [...]
