That disadvantage sometimes pushes you

“That disadvantage sometimes pushes you, you know, if you use it right, because you want to rid yourself of those things that hurt you emotionally when you’re coming up.”

Use your disadvantage right. Don’t regret your life. Instead of beating yourself up, use your disadvantage to get yourself to the next bus stop. You can get there.

The freedom to expand

“I suffered evils, but without allowing them to rob me of the freedom to expand.”

You need the freedom to expand. You need the freedom to grow. You need the freedom to live your true life. And you need the freedom to just be yourself. No matter what you are going through right now, do not give up. Your best life is ahead of you. Keep going.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “There is no knowledge that is not power.”

Take responsibility for your life. Free yourself from your past disappointments. They are in the past. If you want them to remain in the past, you must free yourself from them. Do not let your past define your life. Do not let your past determine how far you can go in your life. Do not limit yourself. Because God has a lot in store for you. It is up to you.

You can change your life. Do not wait for anyone to do it for you. They are not going to do it for you. Because they have their own problems to deal with. Do not wait. Just do your own thing. You have the power to do anything you set out to do in your life. Do not wait for people to do for you what you can do for yourself. If you do, they will never respect you.

Respect yourself by taking responsibility for your life. You have the power to do it. You have the power to say no to what is hurting you. You have the power to say yes to your life, to love, to happiness, to life. Above all, you have the power to say no to your past. And you have the power to create a new life, to wear new clothes, to make new friends, to follow a different path. To do that, you must trust yourself. You must believe in yourself. You must not let your past failures to control your present life. Whenever you catch yourself doubting yourself, you must replace it with a positive thought- a life expanding thought.
