God doesn't give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you the person you were meant to be.

You don't have time to convince everybody to like you. Your time is too great to fight battles that don't matter. If someone doesn't praise you, they don't matter. If someone leaves you, you didn't need them. I love loyal people, I love the ones that I know will accept me through every decision I make. When you realize that you can't please everybody, you're going to see new seasons of growth, new opportunities, and God will take you to new places that you've never even dreamed of. Your destiny is too great to be wasted on other people who won't accept you.

It's true that bad things happen to good people but it's also true that good people overcome bad things.

If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone or something, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It's not like you're giving up, and it's not like you shouldn't try. It's just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.

Watch out for people who have a situational value system, who can turn the charm on and off depending on the status of the person they are interacting with"¦Be especially wary of those who are rude to people perceived to be in subordinate roles.

No one looks back on their life and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep.

You'll never find the right person if you never let go of the wrong one.
