Depression is often caused by a lack of growth. When we are stagnant, not fulfilling our purpose, not growing, not having goals, and not accomplishing things – then we can start to feel depressed.

Embrace your emotions,

to control your feelings.

Eat your fear,

to bridle your adrenaline.

Act on your inspiration,

to unleash your potential.

Others can’t fix us. 

Never could, never can, never will. 

yet… 

Our connection to others allows us to fix ourselves. 

Love is always a choice. Love is proven in action. 

We love ideas, which help us create more ideas and then we act on those ideas. 

Love is not an action we do “to someone”, but rather love is something we do “for someone”.

Often, we think we need to prove our love or show our love, but those actions are usually just selfish, or done to be seen as loving. True actions of love are doing what the other person needs and wants, not what we think is needed or wanted. 

 

When you keep doing the work, when keep showing up with intention, you will find the answers and solutions. Action plus reflection creates useful experience. Experience when combined with now-experienced action drives the work that brings the right solutions. 

Most people underestimate themselves and overestimate the abilities of others. 

This is twisted. 

Usually, the reverse is true. 

You are stronger than you think. 

If someone doesn’t make you stronger, they are making you weaker. 

but… 

No one makes us, we make ourselves by how we choose to respond to every interaction and experience. 

Complete resolve is a sign of confidence. 

When your resolve wavers, it shows you do not trust yourself or what you said you believe. 

 

Happy Birthday, Julia! We love you. 

The smartest know how to make it simple. 

The best know how to keep it simple. 

Doing these three things builds, saves, restores, and strengthens true belief: 

1. Show Up – Do what you are supposed to do. 
2. Show Gratitude & Ask For Help – Practice sincere meditation, prayer, and communication. 
3. Study Truth – Study what you need to study. 

When done: go back to #1. 

Taking these actions makes it impossible to not have true faith.
