Before I begin, Happy New Year y'all; hope you enjoyed 2018 and ready to get to all the opportunities 2019 has to offer. As the year begins, I'd like you guys to cancel out all fake friends. All those Fairweather friends who are never there when you're in need of them. The friends you never find when you're struggling but always show up when your blessings are flowing. Find out those who love you. Those who have been with you  since day one. Those who have been with you through thick and thin and are still holding on to you. Know those who would criticize you when you're wrong and pull you back onto the right path, those who would go through hell for you and never let go off them. Because it is difficult to find legit friends. Real friendships require lots of work to keep, a sack of patience to maintain and loads of love to make it last forever. This world is an illusion. Lies and fakes make its foundation. Trust the Lord for wisdom to be able to decipher the...

"Sticks and stones may break your bones but  words never hurt" This assertion is very not true. See the tongue though boneless has incredible power. We can use it to convey words of blessings and life or curses and death. Our tongues can be the most difficult thing to control and leave us with great regret if we use our words to hurt. Therefore learn to tame the tongue.Be a blessing. Be a friend. Encourage someone. Take time to care. Let your words heal, and not wound.

The most useful asset of a person is not a head full of knowledge  but a heart full of love, with ears open to listen, and hand willing to help. When someone does something wrong, don't forget all the things they did right. No one can touch words but words do touch one's heart and soul. We are masters of our unspoken words and slaves of our spoken words. Speak only when your words are more beautiful than the silence. Before you say anything, think how you'll feel if someone said it to you. Treat people the way you want to be treated, talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Remember respect is earned not given. Show respect even to people who don't deserve it.

"When you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine🌞” Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace 🍀 "An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging your back with difficulties, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming”😊 I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness😉 Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is😉 Source: https://t.me/inspiration_FN/638

Everybody has a seed of greatness the difference is where you expose it. Taking a step forward will get you to your destination even if you take one step everyday.

'The movement' simply refers to the group of people that are often destruction to us. They talk about whether you do good or bad. The movement often get us frustrated and off track. Its left unto to you to lock up all negative vibes and move on. Don’t spend another moment worrying or stressing over what someone thinks about you! They like you or they don’t! God loves you ❤️

It is a mistake to think time is going. Time is not going. Time is here until the world ends. It is you that is going. You don’t waste time. Time is infinite. You waste yourself. You are finite. It is you that grows old and die. Time doesn’t. So make better use of it. And one of the worst things to do with time is comparing yourself to others. A cow eats grass and gets fat but if dog eats it, it will die. Never compare yourself with others. Run your race. What works for one person may be that which will kill you. Focus on your gifts and talents and don’t be envious of the blessings of others.

Home. What is home? Where is home? We ask these questions expecting home to be a place, a location, an address.... But is that what the word "home" truly means. I believe that home is not a location or an address or a place. I belive home is  defined by the people around you. The people that make you feel loved. The people that make you feel comfortable. The people that when you are around you can be yourself. Most of us at the moment are in school. Far away from "home". Getting to the end of the year, we are itching to get "home". Treat the people around you equally. Treat everyone with love, respect and gratitude. We feel home is only where are family is. However, the friends we make can be like family. The book of Proverbs says, "there's a friend that sticks closer than a brother." Get that friend or friends who stick closer than brothers and you'll always have a home away from home. Never get lonely or complain for home is n...
