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. 

The struggle is not for approval from others but for acceptance from self. 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Mom! Love you. 

When you are accused wrongly, it is them who must be taught.

For they thought you were someone you are not. 

It is obviously a case of mistaken identity.

Let it go and move on to create your serenity. 

Praise and adoration from the the outside world in words or in action doesn’t create long-term fulfillment.  Yet, encouragement from people from the inside world (family, friends, mentors, community) creates lasting change and drives a sense of purpose. 

Opinions don’t equal truth. 

Once your opinion becomes your identity, then you have stopped progressing. 

Curiosity and the desire to learn should always be stronger than your opinion-based identity.
