The way you treat people who are in no position to help you, further you, or benefit you reveals the true state of your heart.
~ Mandy Hale
You don't have to knock anyone off their game to win yours. It doesn’t build you up to tear others down.
We are not on this earth to just stand still & look pretty. The museums already have enough statues.
Always show kindness and love to others. Your words might be filling the empty places in someone's heart.
If you’re still waiting for it, it mean you’re not yet ready for it…whatever “it” is…so stop looking at waiting as a punishment and start looking at it as preparation!
There is nothing that can happen TO you that can’t also happen FOR you…if you’ll let it.
The stretching of your faith is immediate pain that results in ultimate gain. It is in the waiting that we become who we are meant to be.
In the midst of our struggle to find out who we are, there are infinite possibilities for beauty, and hope, and wonder, and love.
Change starts with YOU. When you step up, you invite others to step up, too.
You can love them, forgive them, want good things for them…but still move on without them.
It makes no sense to try to extend a friendship that was only meant to be a season into a lifetime.
Toxic people will pollute everything around them. Don’t hesitate. Fumigate.
It is necessary, and even vital, to set standards for your life and the people you allow in it.
Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you CHOSE your life, you didn’t SETTLE for it.
If there is a particular person in your life that is repeatedly choosing not to honor you and is causing you more sadness or pain than they are joy - it might be time to release that friendship back to God and trust that it is not where you belong.
True strength is knowing that you don't have to be strong every single second of the day.
It's a lot harder to get someone OUT of your life than it is to let them IN, so please…be selective.
Don't ignore the love you DO have in your life by focusing on the love you DON'T.
Stop inviting people who don't celebrate you to your party! It's YOUR life - you have the right to be exclusive.
If a man WANTS to be with you, he will make his actions clear. There won’t be any questions, murkiness, cloudiness, or fear.
You can’t truly heal from a loss until you allow yourself to really FEEL the loss.
If God closes a door AND a window, consider the fact that it might be time to build a whole new house.
Don't pour a lifetime of effort into a seasonal relationship. Not everyone from the pilot belongs in the finale.
We can let go of the person or love or friendship without letting go of the lesson.
Breakups have a way of shaking us awake and helping us see what we really want vs. what we are willing to settle for.
If something on the inside is telling you that someone isn’t right for you, they’re NOT right for you, no matter how great they might look on paper. When it’s right for you, you will know. And when it’s not – it’s time to go.
Our friends have a way of reminding us of how fabulous we are when the rest of the world has forgotten.
Look around you at the people you spend the most time with and realize that your life can’t rise any higher than your friendships.
Keep your head up, your faith strong, and your eyes open for the little miracles all around you…because they are there, just waiting to be discovered.
Love shouldn’t require Windex to be clear. It either is or it isn’t.
The wonderful, beautiful thing that happens when you rid yourself of the things that don’t see your worth? You make space in your life for all the glorious things you deserve.
Your message, your ministry, your influence is built from your flaws. People relate to HUMANITY...not perfection.
Too easy to get = Just as easy to forget.
When God requires us to surrender one dream, it’s because He wants to hand us a bigger and better one.
The things we don’t stress tend to turn out best. Trust and let go.
Red flags are moments of hesitation that determine our destination.
Sit your affections, your heart and your precious time out on the doorstep without so much as making him ring the doorbell first, and he’ll treat you like a doormat. Make him work a little to get next to you, and he won’t stop til you’re his.
That’s the thing about fear. It can only hang around until faith enters the room, then it’s forced to flee.
God can turn your biggest flaws into your biggest cause.
To get over the past, you first have to accept that the past is over. No matter how many times you revisit it, analyze it, regret it, or sweat it…it’s over. It can hurt you no more.
