Today's Thought (s)

Never ever for the sake of peace and quiet deny your own experience.

Live the life you love.

As you get older, you really just want to be surrounded by good people; people who are good for you, good to you, and good for your soul.

Self-Honesty

"When people ask me how I'm doing, I'm always quick to say I'm doing great or I'm doing good. Then I go back and ask myself, 'Am I really doing good? Am I really doing great?' The truth is NO! I'm not always doing great. I'm not always doing good, but yet I still have a smile on my face with my head held high. It's okay to be honest with yourself and admit that you are not okay. God already knows how you are feeling so you might as well be honest with yourself. I'm learning that you don't always have to be great. God knew we would have struggles and he knows we are not always gonna be great, but the truth that makes me keep my head high and say I'm great is that God woke me up this morning to be great and that he has a great plan in store for me! I don't know all the details of it, but I do know he is in control! The fact that God gave me another day to live is enough for me to say I'm great! So if you talk to me and you ask me how I'm dong I will probably say I'm great, but just know that I still have daily struggles just like you, and that I don't have my life all together and that in spite of all that even though I don't feel great all the time; inside I am great because God is always with me and he has a great plan!"
