82 powerful affirmations to live by.

Image
  Affirmations aren't a bunch of nice things that you say to yourself once in a while; then with the wave of a wand, you automatically become them. Not so, faith without works is dead! You must be willing to put in the work. It's a process that you have to repeat daily until these things that you have been saying becomes a part of you. Not only that, you must first believe in whatever you're saying or it will never happen. Meditate on your affirmations when you go to bed, when you wake up, when you are alone, wherever you go.  You won't just get up out of the blue and become the most confident person on earth. It happens gradually. Just know that some affirmations can take years before they manifest themselves. Others will manifest themselves when situations arise. Either way, an affirmation is a seed that you sow within yourself. Like the natural seed, you'll have to take care of it, or it will die. You must give it strong roots to combat internal and external fact

  “The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.” ―  Osho, Are you bothered by other people's opinions of you? For many of us, we've been the target of disapproval for as long as we can remember. Nothing that has ever been done by us was ever good enough. We've had to endure disrespect, ingratitude, and brutality at the hands of others. There's just always a but....when it comes on to us. With all the prejudices that I've experienced in this life. I've learned this one thing, people can only treat you the way you allow them to.   Don't let the disapproval of others determine your outcome in life.  You don't need the validation of other people. Your fate isn't sealed into anyone's disapproval. You should never hinge your life on the opinions of others. Teach people how they should treat y

30 comforting quotes to read during sickness.

  There are times when our lives and the lives of our loved ones take an unexpected turn. Sickness isn't something that we would gladly welcome into our lives but the reality is that anyone at any time can become sick. Even those who appear to be fit and healthy. In these debilitating moments, there's still hope. Hope that we'll get better. Hope that our loved ones will get better. Hope that our pain and suffering will end. These waiting moments can be lonely, stressful, and depressing at times. It gets even worse with financial constraints.  The psychological effects of not having the funds to purchase much-needed medication or cover a life-saving surgery are a nightmare. It's a whole different level of frustration! While we can relate to pain. We can never truly feel the agony that a person endures when they are ill. We may express our deepest sympathies, but only the person who is sick knows what they are going through. May God give you the strength to overcome whate

20 inspiring quotes for a more meaningful life.

    There are times when it feels as though our lives have no meaning. There's this mad rush for us to grow up, go to school, get a good education, and land a top-paying job, but life isn't always flourishing. Sometimes we get to 30, 40, 50, and we still haven't owned a home. We're still working a measly 9-5 job that can't even maintain a basic life and we feel like a total failure. What have I  done wrong all these years? Why am I not further in life? I've been working so hard, but the ends don't ever meet. It can be discouraging at times to take a walk down memory lane, and reflect on the few things we've accomplished during the course of our lives. The truth is, earning a university or college degree doesn't mean that we'll land a well-paid job in the corporate world. Working hard doesn't mean that we'll someday become a millionaire. On the contrary, having houses, cars and a hefty bank account doesn't mean that our lives will be

How to love and appreciate yourself.

  How to not care what others think and be yourself!                                                                Self-love isn't just caring about ourselves and our needs. It allows others to experience the best of us. When we give the best to ourselves. We give the best of ourselves! This means that whoever we come in contact with they'll partake of our very best.  When we have an understanding of what it means to love, value, and appreciate ourselves. We'll pass that same energy to those with whom we come to encounter. When we learn to love all our imperfections.  It's easier to not judge people but embrace them in the way we'd want them to embrace us. That's why  Jesus said we should love our neighbors as ourselves.  What you wouldn't want anyone to do to you, don't do it to them. Don't hurt them. Don't lie to them. Don't break their trust. Don't use them. Just love them as yourself.  Unfortunately, we can never give love if we hav

              '' Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.'' Helen Keller How many times did you fall off your bike before you started riding it without the training wheels?  How many times did you scratch the car when you were learning to drive? There are so many things that you had to do repeatedly until you got them right, and there was a reason why you kept trying. You believed in yourself!            Those were the little things that boosted your confidence, even without you knowing. Those little promises that you made to yourself. I'll get it right next time! Those little moments when you chose endurance over giving up. They are what led to the big things. The next time you see someone doing what they do best, don't think that they were born prepared for it. It took them time to get there. The most influential life coach or motivational speaker is of no use to you, if you can't see the potential that they see in you
