You are who you are, not what you do. ‘We must all beware of letting our value rest in what we do, because no matter what it is that we do, the day will probably come when we won’t do it any longer.’

‘No matter how many other people love you, if you don’t love yourself, you will still feel lonely.’

‘Being free is much more important than being right.’

‘Joy is to our lives like gasoline is to an engine. Without gasoline, the engine will not run; without joy, I don’t believe the human being runs well either.’

‘Never apologize for being the person you are. That would be like an apple tree apologizing for not being a banana tree. If you’re an apple tree, then produce apples; if you’re a banana tree, then produce bananas! It takes all kinds of fruit to make a fruit salad.’

‘Any time we try and fail, we learn something that can benefit us in the future if we won’t give up.’

‘We are never free until we have no need to impress other people.’

‘Many people will tell you that you can’t do a thing if it is something out the ordinary, but if it not ordinary, then it can be extraordinary.’

‘If God wanted us to be miserable, He would not have offered us mercy!’

‘God does not want us to feel belittled and insignificant because we sin; He wants us to face our faults, receive mercy and press on.’

‘Many of our mistakes are made while we are trying to do something right.’

‘We may be sincere, but still be sincerely wrong. We may have good intentions, and still create a mess. God sees our heart, our motives and intentions and is willing to clean up our messes while we are growing.’

‘God’s mercy sets us free to keep trying even though we often makes messes.’

‘There is no fee that you have to pay to go to God’s party. After all, it is being given in your honor, so it would be a shame if you didn’t show up.’

‘We cannot move on to where we would like to be if we refuse to face where we are!’

This Is Your Inner Strength

Respect your uniqueness. Always celebrate who you are. You are in charge of your life. Don’t give in to what people are saying about you. Whether people like you or not, that is okay. If they don’t like who you are, how you do your things, how you treat yourself, that is not your problem. What they are saying about you has nothing to do with you. But it has everything to do with them.

When you are doing your things, when you are living your life, do not expect some people to like you. What they want you to do is forget who you are, to go along, to follow them to wherever they are going.

Do not do that! Because you are here to make a difference, to touch other people’s lives. You are not here to make people happy, to please everybody.

If you do not have the courage to celebrate your uniqueness, you are not helping yourself. You are helping other people get better, not you.

The only way to find your true self, to celebrate who you are is to respect your uniqueness. Your specialness.

According to Joyce Meyer, ‘The things in your life that make you different aren’t hinderances … they are assets.’

Do not try to change how you look. Because God doesn’t care about how you look. God cares about your heart.

If you do not have a healthy heart, your possessions don’t matter. The best way forward, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘You owe it to yourself to determine the kind of person you want to be and how that person will allow themselves to be treated.’

Before you go, as always, let me ask you these questions. ‘What do you think about yourself? How do you feel about who you are? Do you ever compare yourself with other people and feel belittled if you can’t do what they can do or be like them?’ Don’t!!!!

Be you. Remember, You are more, not less!
