you can't keep postponing things just because you aren't ready. you really have to do it scared.

Understand the role you play in your own suffering.

just a girl learning and unlearning.

The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

read the books you bought … read the books you bought… read the books you bought.

He didn’t say maybe. He said, SURELY goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

@Nithya_Shrii You have to treat your self care like an unbreakable meeting with your most important executive: yourself. Put it on the calendar and protect that time as ruthlessly as you would a deadline.

“you’ll get there. But right now you are here. (and here can be beautiful too)” What a quote

Is your character ready to carry the weight of your answered prayers?

@AfsaRosette This entire thread is BEAUTIFUL.

And eventually life starts making sense when you stop trying to force it into a timeline. Bc life isn’t linear. It repeats what you didn’t learn & reveals what you couldn’t see. What you thought was a curse becomes the curriculum.

One of my fave quotes: “Just keep living. If you live long enough, it’ll all make sense.” Bc life doesn’t hand you understanding when you demand it. It hands you confusion. Then time. Then patterns. Then contrast. Then more time. Then if you’re willing, clarity. Let me explain…

All I want for my birthday is a Costco Membership.

I wish more ppl understood this: When someone says, “I’m not ready for a relationship,” but allows intimacy & attention they aren’t setting boundaries…They’re saying: “You don’t get commitment, but I still get your energy.” This is economy of emotional control. Let me explain…

Your days have to be SO intentional beyond belief. SO intentional. People waffle around for years and then pick their head up and wonder why they have nothing. Every minute counts. Every hour you commit to the right thing sets you up for in a year from now. Every move is intentional. You have so much time in a day if you are intentional. What can I do RIGHT now to fix my health. To get in shape. To nourish my body. To recover. To make money. To build something. To follow my passion. To get myself in the right environment. Every minute. Stack the minutes. Stack the days. Ditch the vices. Ditch the things that hold you back. Pray that God will show you the way and give you the tools that you need. Compound interest in life is powerful. It’s amazing yet also dangerous. Make sure you are compounding the right things.

2 year, 6 months, 2 days 🤯

Music is my favorite form of art.

forgive people for your sake

After the interview I got into the manager apprentice program. It’s a 2 year program. Things have gone so well in the last 2 months that I start my position as assistant store manager in two weeks. God is REAL GOOD! 🙏🏽

I really locked in after this interview!
