Courage

The lies you tell yourself hurt the most so do not sacrifice your destiny to make someone else emotionally happy. Accept that they are who they are and you are who you are. Be completely honest with yourself, and never allow desperation for a dream make you settle on a path that God has not destined for you. We easily become comfortable living in medicority because it takes courage to live a phenomenal life. You are the determining factor of your own happiness. Be strong and courageous.

Seasons

Why are you crying over Saul when King David is in front of you?

1 Samuel 16

Seasons of change can bring pain, but happiness as well. You may not always see the positive at that moment, but don't miss out on something great by continuing to hold on to the past and/or because of fear of leaving your comfort zone. Move ahead. The best is yet to come. (Repeat out loud.)

Joy is internal, but it exudes to the exterior.
