Life Tips

“If you want your life to have true value, bring a gift to the world. Bring your love, not your fear. Bring your compassion, not your hatred. Bring your joy, not your suffering. Bring your optimism, not your doubt. Bring your beautiful, already free, smiling presence. Bring your open loving heart so that all beings everywhere will feel your goodness, and when you pass they too will smile and share their joy. Some things are better left sleeping while other things will nourish the universe. If you want your life to have value, bring the best part of you to the world.”

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

"Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.”

Each day is born with a sunrise and ends in a sunset, the same way we open our eyes to see the light and close them to hear the dark. You have no control over how your story begins or ends. But by now, you should know that all things have an ending. Every spark returns to darkness. Every sound returns to silence.

And every flower returns to sleep with the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimate ART.”

“Do not take that gift of hope lightly. It has the power to conquer despair in the midst of sorrow, to light the darkness in the valleys of life, to whisper “One more time” in the face of failure. Hope is what gives life to dreams, making the fairy tale the reality.”

This is not the time to let doubt talk you out of it, let disappointments, what didn’t work out, cause you to water down your dream. God is saying, “Keep believing, keep expecting, keep declaring.” You’re on the verge of activating a flow of God's help that you’ve never seen.

You have to press past the naysayers. There will always be people that try to discourage you, tell you what you can’t become, how you’re not going to get well. Tune all that out. People don’t determine your destiny. They don’t know what God put in you.
