If you have to cut corners to get it, without allowing yourself go through the process, you will not be able to keep it.

There are things you will learn from your childhood that will affect your adulthood. You can either learn how to become conditioned, create fear and have limited beliefs that hinder your growth and leave you depending on others or learn how to become independent and grow through life challenges. The choice you make, will also determine those you surround yourself with as well as how far you go in life. Choose wisely!

Without failing at one thing, there won't be an opportunity to try again, learn and grow. Life isn't static but dynamic. Learn to embrace whatever situation you may face and strive to overcome. Believe in yourself, knowing your best is yet to come.

Bullies do not just wake up and decide to be one. They are people who have or are experiencing emotional or verbal abuse. All you can do is not retaliate but show them love. Doing so, allows them see what they are missing and need. You can let them see the other side of life when you show love not hurt. After all, we are all products of love and we must choose to demonstrate that above all else.

Your journey is completely yours. It is unique. Others may try to steal part of it, tell it in their words or shape it to suit them. Reality is no one can live it or own it but you. Take charge of your journey, it's yours and yours alone!

Life cannot impose on you that which you aren't willing to accept. Don't let your emotions/feelings push you towards accepting less than you truly deserve. Believe in yourself, be confident and stay focused. The best lies before and within you...it is all a matter of your choice. Choose wisely!

At the end of the day, what matters most is not what tore you apart but the love than binds and heals your heart.

There is no life outside of God. Everything points us back to Him.

Life is a rehearsal. Get dressed and be ready to face it daily.
