You Can't Overdose on Forgiveness

Forgiveness is truly a medicine for the heart.  Take it as often as necessary or your heart will surely suffer.  Your head will suffer.  Your body will suffer.  You will suffer.  Those who love you will suffer.  Forgive and be healthy and whole.

Your Heart Will Tell You the Truth

Follow your heart, and only your heart.  Not opportunity.  Not obligation. 

Sweet Release

If you are feeling negative energy, sadness, loneliness, anger, or confusion, search yourself to find what you're holding onto.  Try letting go.  It is the sweetest release.

Know Your Rights

Forgive quickly.  Never hold onto strife.  There is no need to mull over whether you have the right to be angry.  It doesn't matter.  Just let it go and remember that you have a right to live in peace.  That is the right that you should never give up.

Laugh Often

Don't take yourself or others too seriously.  Laugh at yourself and others often with joy and love.

Fearless

What you fear is your God.  It will control your actions, rule your thoughts and determine the quality of your life.  So fear nothing or no one, except your Creator.  Reverence only the force He placed within you.

Hold Your Peace

Be quiet.  Keep your peace.  Let God handle it.

Encourage Yourself!

Be a true friend to yourself.  Enjoy your company.  Attend to your needs.  Encourage yourself.  Praise yourself.  Surprise yourself.  You're the perfect companion for yourself.  So take advantage of that.

Follow Love

Drop everything and follow love.  With love, you lose nothing.

Take Your Power

That thing that is nagging at you.  The one that you try to ignore.  The one that you think is hidden, but keeps showing up and affecting your relationships, health, attitudes and actions.  Deal with it now and move on.  Putting it off is only prolonging the inevitable and giving it power over your life.  Eventually you will have to face it.  It will track you down and stop you in your tracks.  So deal with it now and take back your power.

You Got It!

You already have what you're searching for. 

God Will Take Care of You

Do what you know to do.  And the answers to the questions will come.  Be obedient and do your part.  You will be taken care of. 

You Are So Worth the Effort

Do the work on yourself.  You are worth it!  Build yourself up.  Nurture yourself.  Reward yourself.  Impress yourself with your own unique talents and abilities.  Then you will be healthy and strong enough to do the same for others.

Keep Fighting Until You Get It

Sometimes it takes a fight to get peace.  But fight for it.  Do what you have to do.  Give up whatever you have to give up.  Hold onto whatever you have to hold onto.  Keep at it until you get it.

You are Enough

The way to be the best wife, mother, daughter, sister or friend you can be is to be yourself.

Be Here for the Present

Be fully alive and awake in the moment you are in.  Don't spend too much time reflecting on yesterday or pondering tomorrow, because you will miss today.

Be True to Your Soul

Act according to the prompting of the Spirit in your spirit.  Be true to your soul.  Don't make decisions based on perceptions, yours or others.

You Are Responsible for Your Own Light

Just because someone else's light seems brighter doesn't negate your responsibility to let yours shine.

Give it All

Give all. Expect nothing. Receive more than you can contain.

Blessed People Bless People

A positive attitude is contagious. If you want to experience good things like love, joy, beauty, kindness, praise and truth, allow these things to dominate your thoughts and actions. Before you know it, these things will surround you and overflow in your life. So let them take over your thoughts, so that good things will show up in you. When they show up in you, you will give them to those around you. Then you will notice these good things showing up in those around you. Then they will start giving good things out. Blessed people bless people and keep being blessed. So let the blessings begin with you!

What Do You Really Want?

Be open about your desires. Don't be embarrassed or afraid to let them be known. It's not like when we were kids and had to keep our wishes a secret to avoid jinxing them. Be confident that God will grant you your desires. Be excited knowing it is already done. You have to be open enough to ask to be open enough to receive.

When Nothing Else Could Help

When all else fails, try LOVE. LOVE God, LOVE yourself, LOVE others. It's a sure thing.

Through a Glass Dimly

Sometimes we see our surroundings and what's in front of us as dull, ugly and uninteresting. Then we think we need to move to a place with a better view. But in reality it is our perception that is flawed. Just like having on dirty glasses. You can get so used to looking through filthy lenses that you forget what it's like to see clearly. So if things are bleak and dreary, before trying a change of scenery, try cleaning your lenses. Even if you move, if you still have dirty lenses, you will still see a gloomy picture. If you are negative, pessimistic and cynical, you can continue to expect the worst. Try being positive, optimistic and hopeful, you may see things in a better light.

Motives

Don't let what people do to you or for you guide your actions.  Act in a way that sits right in your spirit.

Free Indeed

God has set you free.  He has broken the chains and opened the door.  If you are still sitting in the cage, clinging to the shackles, it is your decision.  It doesn't matter if others are sitting there with you.  A cage is still a cage.  You may be distracted or amused in a cage.  You may even have moments of comfort or pleasure.  But a cage is still not your natural environment.   Therefore, you will never have joy until you leave it behind you.  You can't wait for permission to walk out.  You can't blame others because you decided to stay in.  They don't have the key.  You must get up, walk out and enjoy your own freedom.

Be Here Now

Focus on the task at hand.  Do it well.  Enjoy it.  Be yourself in it.  Give yourself totally unto it. 

Let Them Know You Love Them Today

If you are going to go out of your way to let someone know something about you.  Instead of letting them know how much money you make, how perfect your family is, what a large vocabulary you have, how righteous you are...let them know you love them.  Nothing else will really make any difference.

Grown and In Control

You are free to experience the joy of life.  If you are not doing what gives you joy, it is this decision that is diminishing your joy.  Your lack of joy is not because of where you are or who you're with.  Your lack of joy is because you decided to do something other than bless your soul.  The good news is you can make a different choice.  You can choose to do what feeds your spirit, what makes you laugh, what energizes you, what motivates you.  You can do that right this moment, right where you are.  You don't have to get a degree, change your look or move to a different city.  You can do it NOW!

Love Should Be the Reason

Do what you do for love (of God, of self, of others).   Love should be the primary motive for every action.

One of a Kind

You are one of a kind.  You don't need to change others to fit your mold.  And you don't have to change or feel inferior because you don't fit into someone else's puzzle.  Just be who you are and let other people be who they are, and everyone will fit perfectly where they are supposed to.  The grand puzzle will be complete.
