By the end of every day, our faith has been tested, our strength put to the test. Every morning we wake is another opportunity given to us to make whatever failures we had the day before, a success.

No matter what you say or do, there will always be negative people that misread what you write, twist the words you speak or make up an alternative motive for your good action. My advice is to pray for these people and simply put them on ignore. Never react to them for that exactly what they want. To pull you down to their level in a pit of darkness and gloom. Forgive them and set them free with hope that they will one day see the light and welcome love into their hearts. Love them always........from a distance if needed.

Begin every day with thoughts of peace. Continue thinking thought of peace throughout your precious day and happiness will be yours. When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others. Peace is not something you wish for; it's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.

Don't let this day pass without telling the people you love that you love them. Do not take for granted the people closest to your heart. Nothing is permanent, celebrate them now ♥

Walking your talk is a great way to motivate yourself. No one likes to live a lie. Be honest with yourself, and you will find the motivation to do what you advise others to do.

Greatness is not about the person that has all the skill and talent, greatness is measured by the set backs you had in life having fought through them and become stronger.

Change is hard. You fight to hold on and you fight to let go... In the end, we all know change is needed for you to grow. After all, the Caterpillar never knew it was going to be a Butterfly. 

Be who you are, because the kind of people who will only accept you if you're someone you're not aren't worth earning your acceptance. The kind of people who love you for who you are don't need to be impressed with falseness. Be who you are.

Being strong isn't a lifestyle, being strong is standing up for yourself when everyone else is trying to put you down.

Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child

A beautiful woman uses her lips for truth, her voice for kindness, her ears for compassion, her hands for charity, her heart for love....for those that don't like her, she uses prayer


No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are less and that someone else is more in order to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you can not possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable. Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison. Also, don't be that person who make others feel less then what they truly are!

Generosity will make you rich. The best thing to do if you're feeling pooris to give something away. Give a few dollars to homeless person, some clothes to a thrift store or pay for the person behind you at the drive through. Instead of focusing on what you don't have, focus on what you do have and how you can bless others with it. Being able to give is a Divine gift in itself.
