Confidence is silent. Insecurities are loud.
When you trust in yourself, and feel confident in your position, there is no need to argue or prove that you are right. You trust that the truth will unfold as it should in due time, and you don’t have to respond to everything going on around you. Easier said than done sometimes, I know. When dealing with someone who is loud, brazen and insistent on something, it can be tempting to get into the
Don’t be the reason someone feels insecure. Be the reason someone feels seen, heard and supported by the whole universe.
Healthy people don’t go around tearing others down to make themselves feel better. Dimming someone else’s light doesn’t make our light shine brighter. Most of us feel bad when we realize that we did something or said something that made someone else feel bad or insecure. It’s often unintentional on our part. But perhaps we need to start being more intentional with how we connect to others. But in our modern era, those we care
Once you need less, you will have more.
As a society we are taught that having more equals happiness. We seek higher paying jobs, fancy cars and big houses. We see these things as symbols of success. In Fight Club, Edward Norton’s character says, “We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.” When we start needing the next greatest thing in our life, we become slaves to constantly needing more.

When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.
Knowing who you are, what you are made of and what you are capable of can make you unstoppable. I’ve seen so many people go through horrific traumas or endure years of abuse and they come out of it all, and you would never know how bad things were because they appear so strong. But what allows us to get through these difficult times and bounce back stronger is resilience. When we are resilient, it
We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% of how we respond to it. Yet when we are really struggling, we lose sight of how temporary any trial or difficulty truly is. And more so, we forget all the blessings we have received because were blinded by the challenge in front of us. If only we engraved our blessings in marble and our trials in sand……… Here are some things to remember when going
Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.
There is a natural ebb and flow in life, or ups and downs. Sometimes those ups and downs are more level and other times, they can be mountain peaks and valleys. There have been times when I have literally had nothing – including a place to live. There have also been times when I have felt like I had everything – nice cars, a nice home, ability to travel for months at a time with
Your focus determines your reality.
Our thoughts are like seeds in our minds. They can take root and flourish. Our minds are incredibly powerful. What we think about, we focus on. What we focus on is what we give our time to. What we give our time to ultimately becomes our reality. How? Because who we are is determined by our daily habits. Our daily habits are actions we take based on what we are focused on. If you are
A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well.
Yes, we all have heard that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. But the real question is, how to do get to the point where we can handle stress well so that we can grow from it and become stronger? The answer lies in how we process our emotions during those times of distress and high emotions. How many times have you looked back at how you handled stress and wished you had handled
