“Everything you ask and pray for, God provides. If you ask for wisdom, He will give you an opportunity to become wise. If you ask for strength, He will grant you an opportunity to discover your inner strength. If you ask for patience, He will grant you an opportunity to master patience. If you ask for courage, He will grant you an opportunity to become courageous. If you ask for hope, He will grant you an opportunity to become hopeful. If you ask for peace, He will grant you an opportunity to create and discover the peace you truly need. You don't receive because you don't believe and have faith to make it manifest. God always provides what we ask for.”

“Every choice starts with a decision. Every decision starts with a thought. Every thought starts with a pre-conceived idea. It is up to you to decide what you do with each but always remember that the choice you make will result in the consequence you face.”

“Life is like a served meal God hands over to you (think of it as a plate of steak). He marinates it with life and breath. The journey will depend on how you write your recipe and cook the meal. The outcome will determine what happens to you in life...the choices and the consequences. I bet you would not want to eat a burnt meal daily. Hence, you learn to prepare the meal in a way it serves you...it can either be healthy or not!”

“You can contribute to someone's happiness but you are not responsible for their choices about happiness. You can contribute to someone's healing process but you are not responsible for their choices around healing themselves. You may make recommendations to someone on a choice but you are not responsible for their choices. All these are outside of what you can control. Hence, the reason why you have to make the choices for choosing yourself...your own happiness, your own healing and your own choices in life.”

“Love is a choice. You can choose to love or hurt but the consequences you suffer will always be based on the choice you make. No one can force you to choose between the two but the state of your heart, mind and soul will determine the one you lean toward. Always remember that with hurt you can destroy but with love you can CONQUER!”

“The lack of understanding of our emotions lead to the creation of narratives that alter our thinking, awakens ego and fear and result in self-sabotage. Without becoming emotionally intelligent and mature, we will live in our shadows, lose ourselves and succumb to unhealthy coping mechanisms which become lifestyles.”

“There are no failures in life. Life brings you opportunities with endless possibilities to learn, gain wisdom and understanding...to become courageous and confident in yourself. You learn to widen your perspectives on life. You become more stronger and resilient. You discover your own strengths and turn challenges into stepping stones towards your greatness and growth. Each day you are granted is a gift to turn things around for your own good. However, if you create limits, you will not truly understand that there are no limits in life. As long as you are still breathing and living, learn to let go so you can spread your wings, learn, live and love the life you have been given. Stand taller daily and give yourself the chance to live your best life.”

“If you spend time judging and criticizing people, you will not have time to heal from your pain or brokenness. You cannot love yourself when you judge or criticize others who are created in God's image and after His Likeness...in which you are also created. Love cannot operate from a space of pain. Love and hurt cannot reside in the same space.”

“There are things you will learn from your childhood that will affect your adulthood. You can either learn how to become conditioned, create fear and have limited beliefs that hinder your growth and leave you depending on others or learn how to become independent and grow through life challenges. The choice you make, will also determine those you surround yourself with as well as how far you go in life. Choose wisely!”

“Staying in an unhealthy relationship that robs you of peace of mind, is not being loyal. It is choosing to hurt yourself mentally, emotionally and sometimes, physically.”

“There is strength in every struggle. Struggles create opportunities for you to become stronger, wiser and better. The moment you shift your thinking from "I cannot" to "I must," you will begin to see 'Beyond the Pain' and draw strength from within. Learn to see each obstacle as a stepping stone and watch your life change significantly.”

“Take a look at the plants. They come together and thrive peacefully in the garden or park. They lean on each other without trying to outdo one another. They serve as a sign that we can see beyond our differences and embrace each other in love while allowing our uniqueness to add color to our world. If plants can live in harmony and show their beauty to the world, we as humans can do much more.”

“Different plants thrive together in a well nurtured garden. Just as they thrive, they pass on a message to mankind - God created us all to thrive with one another and planted love in our hearts for this reason. Let's learn to embrace each other, knowing Love is all we have to keep us growing and going.”

“Bullies do not just wake up and decide to be one. They are people who have or are experiencing emotional or verbal abuse. All you can do is not retaliate but show them love. Doing so, allows them see what they are missing and need. You can let them see the other side of life when you show love not hurt. After all, we are all products of love and we must choose to demonstrate that above all else.”

“Relationships be it dating or marriage, can be viewed as the needle and thread. You cannot sew a fabric with just the needle or the thread. You will need both to get started. It takes patience to thread the needle. The more you learn the technique, the better you will get at it in the future. The same applies to your relationship. Be patient with each other.”
