When you look for the negative, the bad, and the ill intent – that is exactly what you will find! 

Yet, when it is good you seek, it is good you always uncover. 

Whatever we love, whomever we love, it is never an accident and it is always a deliberate choice. 

It is our decision, our agency, and our freedom to choose who and what we love. 

Love is not a force beyond our power, love is always a choice. 

There is no accidental falling in love or out of love. 

We choose to stay in or out of love. 

That is why those who understand the power of love always choose love.

Emotional control is not emotional suppression. 

Suppression is about feeling. Control is about action. 

Control your emotions, but do not suppress them. 

The more something gets examined, the less control it has, because we can understand it better. 

If we examine our weaknesses, we can make them strong. 

If we examine our insecurities, we can fortify ourselves. 

If we examine our fear, we can break free from their power. 

If we examine our motivations, we can let go of excuses. 

If we examine our results, we can change our behaviors. 

 

Our limits are decided by what we choose to fear.

Courage is:

Feeling afraid, and doing it anyway…

Feeling angry, and showing compassion anyway…

Feeling offended, and forgiving anyway…

Feeling pain, and pushing forward anyway… 

Even when you have so many obstacles, courage is found in doing the right thing anyway. 

Time investments always pay off, eventually. 

If we invest our time in being kind, we get kindness. 

If we invest our time in learning, we gain knowledge. 

If we invest our time in relationships, we develop stronger connections. 

If we invest our time in understanding truth, we build stronger faith. 

Everyone does what they understand to be accurate, true, right, or justified. The problem is that not everyone has the right knowledge or access to all the truth, and that is where misunderstandings, accusations, and faulty logic become evident. We do as seems best, with the limited resources we have. The more truth and knowledge we find, the better decisions we can make. 

Always choose who surrounds you… 

Our energy is either raised or lowered by those who surround us. 

Our performance is either raised or lowered by those who surround us. 

Our faith is either raised or lowered by those who surround us. 

We can’t always choose our surroundings, but we can choose who surrounds us. 

When we are too prideful to learn from others, we miss the opportunities given to us.
