“Don’t give them a taste of their own medicine. They already know what it tastes like. Give them a taste of your own medicine. If they lied, let your medicine be honesty. If they played with your emotions, let your medicine be maturity. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it means removing yourself from lives that you want to be in. You are, no doubt, worthy of being valued for who you are. So be who you are.”

“Don’t hang out with people who don’t love you. Don’t try to impress people who aren’t worth it. Don’t try to win people over who aren’t worth it … Focus on the people who are really awesome and who love you.”

35 Powerful Affirmations That Can Change Your Life

Life extends from the thoughts and emotions that you experience. This means that employing affirmations of positive words can have a powerful effect on how you feel and help boost you to new levels of achievement.

Affirmations are proven methods of self-improvement because of their ability to rewire our brains. Much like exercise, they raise the level of feel-good hormones and push our brains to form new clusters of “positive thought” neurons. In the sequence of thought-speech-action, affirmations play an integral role by breaking patterns of negative thoughts, negative speech, and, in turn, negative actions.

Repeat the below aloud and with conviction in the morning and after a few days you will notice the shift in your mood, perception, and interpretation of any given situation.

1.) I am the architect of my life; I build its foundation and choose its contents. 2.) Today, I am brimming with energy and overflowing with joy. 3.) My body is healthy; my mind is brilliant; my soul is tranquil. 4.) I am superior to negative thoughts and low actions. 5.) I have been given endless talents which I begin to utilize today. 6.)

My ability to conquer my challenges is limitless; my potential to succeed is infinite. 15.) (For those who are unemployed) I deserve to be employed and paid well for my time, efforts, and ideas. Each day, I am closer to finding the perfect job for me. 16.) I am courageous and I stand up for myself. 17.) My thoughts are filled with positivity and my life is plentiful with prosperity. 18.)

Dear Christian,

Your identity is in Christ alone, not in the things of this world. Your mistakes do not define you. Your sins do not define you. Your God defines you. There is nothing about you that is random. There is nothing about you that God didn’t pick Himself. There is nothing about you that God does not love (other than your sin, of course). You are exactly who He meant for you to be. You’re not your past. You’re not the sum of all the mistakes and successes in your life. You are a child of the Most High King. And you are eternally loved by Him.

“I don’t think that anything happens by coincidence. No one is here by accident. Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later. The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason.”

A smile doesn't always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their own problems.

Margaret asked that her ashes be scattered in the Ghostwood Forest, and so they were later that day by members of the Sheriff’s Department. She left her log to Hawk. He keeps it on his mantel. He reports that it hasn’t said anything to him yet, but he says he’s “keeping an ear open, just in case”.

Even if you’ve made ill-fated resolutions in 2017, 2016, 2015, or every year for the last decade, never forget that Jesus is all about second chances when you stumble. We can be grateful that His mercies are new every morning — and every New Year.
