Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
"Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your BELIEF will help create the fact."
Every mistake offers a significant lessons. Don't gloss over your mistakes or cover them up, concealing your errors is sure recipe for destruction.
Confessing it and allowing it to be analyzed is is where wisdom lies.

Nothing is more beautiful than the smile that has struggled through the tears.
If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Nothing in nature is for itself. Rivers don't drink water, Trees don't eat fruit, the Sun doesn't use heat. Living for others is the way of Life".
Don't promise when you're happy. Don't reply when you're angry. Don't decide when you're sad.
Once you realize you deserve better, letting go will be the best decision you will ever make.
James 1:6
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Forgive To Forget
A key principle to remain light and stable in relationships is – forgive and forget - it’s a well-known principle – one that we sometimes find difficult to practice. It can be modified to forgive to forget. Sometimes we spend many years with so much bitterness inside us for a particular person, with an inner violence of wanting to make the other pay (emotions of revenge), the one who has supposedly hurt you. If you don’t strike back immediately, you at least want to keep this guilt card in your pocket, to be pulled out at a later date: Oh yes, well what about the time when you…. We keep this bitterness inside us because we haven't forgiven. It does not resolve the situation; the only thing it does is increase our pain, makes us heavy and does not let us remain in peace. So the key is that if we do not forgive, we cannot forget. When someone has offended or insulted us, the last thing we want to do is to let it go. And yet, if our desire is to have a healthy, lasting relationship, that is exactly what we’ve got to do.
Sometimes, when it is a question of a broken relationship, it is not only a matter of forgiving the other, but of forgiving yourself for having allowed yourself to enter that experience. It was you that took the step to allow that experience to be entered into. If you hadn't taken that step, you wouldn't have had that experience. You accepted that challenge, that relationship, and what might happen in it – you were aware of the possibilities when you entered in the relationship. So not only do you have to learn to forgive the other, but also to forgive yourself in such situations. Only then will you be able to forget.

I hope you all had a great day. Remember, don't dwell on the trials in life. Focus on the blessings in your life!
