It can launch you on a deeper personal journey toward happiness, fulfillment, and a life of meaning. As you explore ways to gather strength and improve self-esteem, remember, it is not so much about what you have but who you are. May these tips inspire you. May you go from strength to strength and be a source of strength to others.

Broke Is Not Broken
Being broke is not the same as being broken, losing money is not the same as being lost, and finding your balance is not something you can do on a balance sheet.

Having Less Doesn’t Mean You Are Less
Don’t confuse having less with being less, having more with being more, or what you have with who you are.

Savor Life and Slow Down
When you’re in a hurry, go slowly. The faster you go in life the sooner it is a blur.

Prayer Creates a New Path
Prayer creates a path where there is none and turns your stumbling blocks into building blocks.

Courage Is Not Absence of Fear
Put your faith, and not your fears, in charge. Courage isn’t the absence of fears but how you wrestle with them.

Embrace the Future
If you’re busy hugging the past, you can’t embrace the future. Don’t let the past kidnap your future.

Change Is the Only Constant
This too shall pass. Change is the only constant. In order to take a breath, you must release your breath.

Make a Difference
Do what you can, but never forget that letting go is very different from giving up. Of all the things you can make in life, remember you make all the difference in your life.

Embrace Happiness
Tough times don’t require you to be tough on yourself. Find the courage to embrace happiness.

You Are Great
Things don’t have to be good for you to be great

BEFORE YOU SPEAK… LISTEN

BEFORE YOU WRITE… THINK

BEFORE YOU SPEND… EARN

BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE…WAIT

BEFORE YOU PRAY…FORGIVE

BEFORE YOU QUIT…TRY

Your words, your yodreams, and your thoughts
have the power to create conditions in your life.
What you speak about, you can bring about.

If you keep saying you can’t stand your job,
you might lose your job.

If you keep saying you can’t stand your body,
your body can become sick.

If you keep saying you can’t stand your car,
your car could be stolen or just stop operating.

If you keep saying you’re always broke, guess what?
You’ll always be broke.

If you keep saying you can’t trust a man or trust a woman,
you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.

If you keep saying you can’t find a job,
you will remain unemployed

If you keep saying you can’t find
Someone to love you or believe in you,
our very thoughts will attract more
experiences to confirm your beliefs.

Turn your thoughts and conversations around
to be more positive and power packed with
faith, hope, love and action.

Don’t be afraid to believe that you can
have what you want and deserve.

Watch your “Thoughts,”  they become words;
Watch your “Words,” they become actions;
Watch your “Actions,” they become habits;
Watch your “Habits,” they become character;
Watch your “Character”, for it becomes your “Destiny”

So…….To prevent any obstacles…….

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!
Enjoy every minute you live!!
