Life isn’t perfect. People are not perfect.

We act with malice and envy. We act with anger and resentment. We show fear and give in to temptation.

Life is beautiful. People are beautiful.

We create and inspire. We serve and support. We love and laugh.

While life may not be perfect, we can feel perfect love.

You are unique. There isn’t anyone else out there that can deliver what you do. Find the people that value you and stay near them. Don’t waste time focusing on the people that don’t see your worth. Spend your time with the ones who need and want what you give.

The opposite of faith and confidence is not only fear, but it is also selfishness. (Fear is usually selfish. )

There are signs:

Being needy is a sign.

Being a victim is a sign.

Lack of trust is a sign.

Lack of empathy is a sign.

Focusing on your feelings first is a sign.

Focusing on what you deserve is a sign.

Whatever you worship will define you. What we worship becomes better than us. We all worship.

If we worship money, we will never have enough.

If we worship looks, we will never be enough.

If we worship God though, we will always be and have enough.

God is the only “thing” we can worship that will make us better tomorrow than we are today.

Actions have consequences. Ideas create actions. Ideas have consequences.

When you surrender to what could be, your future will always be better than your past.

Love more.

Think clearly.

That is the way to develop a meaningful life that has the ability to fulfill your purpose and accomplish your potential.

Strength comes from elimination.

When we eliminate distractions, our focus becomes strong.

When we eliminate negative thoughts, our hope becomes strong.

When we eliminate destructive behavior, our character becomes strong.

When we eliminate harmful relationships, our well-being becomes strong.

Hope is found in movement.

The more you do, the more hope you find.

If you are committed to a purpose, it will happen. Nothing can stop commitment to a purpose.

Not a commitment to a person. That is not for you to control.

Not a commitment to the choices of another. That is not for you to control.

Not a commitment to exact results. That is not for you to control.

Your commitment must be to a purpose – the purpose could be love, or usefulness, or encouragement, or support, or service.

Whatever your purpose, commit to it and it will happen.
