My Thoughts....

“Ephesians 2:10 says we are God’s workmanship. The greek word Paul uses is ‘poiéma’ which is where we get the word ‘poem.’ You are the poem God is writing- unique and beautiful.”

“Even if it means going against the opinions of others, Even if it means receiving disapproval, Even if it means going against the crowd, You must do what feels right to you. If it makes you smile, feel more comfortable, or beam with rays of genuine happiness; Then you must do it, regardless of anyone else.”

“You could have one, ten, or a thousand people on your side; but if you don’t believe in yourself, then it doesn’t matter how many are present. You, of all people, must be the first and most strongest supporter.”

“You will always be your own worst critic. Always. Sometimes you may begin to believe things about yourself by listening to this inner critic, however you must remember that these things it speaks are not true. You are beautiful. Absolutely amazing. Completely phenomenal, regardless of what your inner critic may say. Please, learn to silence this doubt.”

“Take the time to settle the storm that may exist within you. Nurture the clouds until they may pass. Yes, the world is a fast moving place, but there is nothing more important than your own health and wellbeing.”

“Success is not something present outside us, but is a matter of our brain chemistry. It’s all about perspective.”

“Has anyone ever noticed how people only love the ocean when the sun is out? Once darkness settles, breeze kicks in, and sharks come out to play - no one wants to swim among it’s waves. And I hope I have never made someone feel like that… As if they’re only admirable in light. As if their darkness wasn’t worth exploring. Because it’s when the sun sets that I sit on the shore, and stare at the ocean in awe.”

“i will tell you, my daughter of your worth not your beauty every day. (your beauty is a given. every being is born beautiful). knowing your worth can save your life. raising you on beauty alone you will be starved. you will be raw. you will be weak. an easy stomach. always in need of someone telling you how beautiful you are.”
