"Look at the bright side!

Oftentimes people tend to complain about little things that cause us trouble. Many times we even focus on things that are missing instead of the things that are still there. It takes faith and a positive perspective to appreciate life beyond the thorns. Let's look at the bright side by pushing past life’s thorns to be thankful for the roses."

"You are more than your past.

Our past can create a shadow of doubt in our future undertakings. It can even cause us to start second-guessing ourselves and our ability to achieve our goals. Overcoming this obstacle will start from believing that we can chart the course of our dreams into reality by building a bridge in our minds from where we are now to what we desire.

"Stay on top of your emotions.

Food can give delights to the saddest parts of hearts and the hardest parts of our emotions. But we should learn to deal with our emotions head-on not under the guise of our cravings, but on logic and control. It's time we learn to feel instead of feeding your emotions by owning them and moving on. Do not give in to food's temptation."

When setbacks happen, trust that there is a reason behind the moment leading up to your goal. It may end up being the perfect moment for you to reevaluate, adjust, and head in a new direction.

"The way to find true happiness...

Many times people sulk over the things they have lost but not what they gained. Happiness works as a mindset. It must come from a good perspective; in a place where gratitude reigns. Let every day be a reminder that gratitude is a way to find true happiness. The more we know this by heart, the easier we achieve true happiness."

"Thankfulness is the key.

In times when life gets you down, the only way to get through is to remind yourself of the calming presence of God. It is our moral obligation to feel grateful for the many times He has rewarded us when we didn't deserve it. Seeking His intervention in our life's difficulties is the way to create more space for thankfulness in your heart."

"You are more than enough!

Being true to yourself means owning up to your flaws and weaknesses not hiding them. Keeping yourself in tune with the world is all about staying in your own lane and not getting distracted with the progress of others to stay away from insecurities. Remember, you are more than your flaws. You can rise beyond your weaknesses."

"Make yourself number one!

Nobody can be more giving than the person who loves himself first. Not in a selfish way, our love for the self must manifest first before we give love to others. We can only give so much that is why we have to give immense care for ourselves first before we decide to take care of others. Take the time to feed your soul with the best quality of care. You deserve it!"
