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!

Do You Really know Who Your Friends Are?

Friends are important. The question is, ‘Do you really know who your friends are?’ Do you know what they are doing? Do you know how they treat other people? Do you know how they talk about things they do not understand? Do you know what they do when they are alone? Do you know what they are going after in life? Do you know what they like? Do you know what they do not like?

What about you? How do they talk about you? How do they treat you? Do they celebrate you when you win something? What about when you lose? Do they get angry when you tell them something great about yourself? Are they willing to work with you? Are they mean to you? Are they jealous of you?

Look, friends are important to you, to me, to others. But no one wants to be around people who are going to make you unhappy. No one wants to be with a bad friend, a jealous sucker. No one wants to be with a terrible person.

If you are not comfortable with your friends, you have a choice: move away from them.

If you do not, you are fooling yourself.
