Have you ever found yourself wanting to share your accomplishments with someone and then decide to hold back because you’re concerned for their ability to handle it? If you have found yourself in this type of situation it’s time for you to reevaluate your connection with this person. It doesn’t mean they’re a bad person as well as you however it just means the position the two of you have been placed is higher then it should be. You should always be comfortable enough to share your celebrations with those you hold close to your heart and vice versa. Life is too short and making sure you have the right people in your circle is priceless .

All too often we forget to pause before responding to someone when a disagreement is on the table. The first thing we want to do is make sure the other person is not only hearing what we have to say but also understanding our stance on it. Reacting this way can take a conversation that should have ended with a resolution to an all out verbal war. It’s not worth it so by following these steps by pausing, breathing, thinking and then responding you now have the opportunity to not only diffuse the war before it starts but also can bring peace sooner rather than later.

It is your right to celebrate even the smallest of victories. Always remember that when you set out to achieve a goal, take some time out to reward yourself when you’ve accomplished it.

It is especially important for us to be mindful for what ask God for because his love us will see it through, even if it’s not in his will for us to have it.

It is easier to say we want something different to happen in our lives but constantly give pushback when change is needed to see it manifest. Being willing to take the necessary steps to implement change opens up the door to not only to what we’ve dreamed of but also to all that God has for our lives.

There are times in our lives where we find ourselves wondering if our forgiveness was received or if our forgiveness was done without a “but or however”. Once we forgive we have the right to move on without the need to forgive all over again because of the other person’s inability to receive it. As long as you forgave with your whole heart it is not your job to keep revisiting it, release it and move on.

So many times in our lives we make decisions about something and wonder if it’s the right decision in fear of what others may think. We find ourselves pondering, changing and sometimes needing to do a redo because we should have stood firm on what we decided on in the first place. Learning to give it to God and putting it on the shelf and leaving it there is by far the best decision one can make. Having faith the size of a mustard seed is all you need.

There are many times in our lives where God will send along angels to help you in your time of need. It is in those times when we need to open up our hearts and minds and allow them to help carry the load.

During these trying times it is so important that we be mindful of protecting our peace. Remembering that it is absolutely ok to say no sometimes as it only means that your peace is as important if not more important than the request of others.

In life we sometimes put the needs of others so far up on our to do list that we can sometimes begin to feel a sense of emptiness. If the work is not done by making the necessary changes we can find ourselves at a point of no return. Taking the time out to make sure that you’re ok doesn’t take anything away from your being their for others.
