No one can shame you, they can create an environment for shame to be felt, but we always have to accept and internalize it ourselves. Shame is felt only if you embrace what others tell you and decide to feel shame. Create your own perspective, decide your own opinion, and you will never feel shame.

If you can control what is actually uncontrollable you are lying. 

If you can control what others think is uncontrollable, you are a genius, a master, a savant. 

Faith is gift. 

We don’t need to wish to beleive. We can decide to believe. 

Hope fuels belief. 

Faith powers action.  

Belief is a choice that turns into faith. 

If we believe something true, that is when our belief becomes the gift of faith. 

Love everyone, no matter what.

Those we trust and respect are the ones who stay true.

Quitting on commitments tells everyone everything they need to know.

Making promises and then later ignoring those promises is a sign of selfishness. We are all selfish.

Our promises and commitments are not based on others or their choices.

Strength is developed and trust is created when we are accountable no matter what the winds of change bring to pass.

While outside circumstances, ideas, situations, or knowledge might change—our integrity to our chosen personal truth (the promises and commitments we make) never should.

Show love by encouraging others to honor their chosen personal truth.

Communication creates trust. 

Communication opens doors. 

Communication build empathy. 

Communication encourages hope. 

Most gossip sounds like fact. Seperating the two is a needed skill. 

That is how the greatest minds and most successful achievers win, they know how to find truth and ignore the lies. 

Education is evidenced in a developed mind. 

A developed mind is proven by how we treat others and how we treat problems. 

Hope comes and lightens the room. 

Regret leaves, and the room lightens. 

Authenticity is when you know who you are and what you want and you do not let others or their opinions change your desires. While you can adjust anytime you want, it is up to you and not determined by others. 

Happy Birthday, My Little Luci! Always stay true to your wonderful self!

Patterns predict. 

What we do is predicated often on what we have done in the past. 

To break a pattern, it takes conscious effort and resilience.
