No one else is supposed to understand your calling. It wasn’t a conference call…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *LS*

The Warm-Up: 

“I’m glad you have arrived to this season of your life. You show up everywhere you go as your authentic self. The right people and opportunities align. You release what doesn’t align with more ease. You have learned the harms of trying to force what doesn’t flow.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

The Core: 

“Add value to others. Expect nothing in return.” ~Chris Powers

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” ~Carl Jung

“No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.” ~Althea Gibson

“Critics always have a lot of fury. But they rarely have a lot of facts.” ~Lecrae, Unashamed

“I don’t do revenge. I heal, move on with my life and let karma do its thing.” ~@Pammy_DS_

“The more you honor your spirit and soul, the more that energy grows around you.” ~Lion Babe

“People rarely care about a strong man’s well-being, until he breaks down and it effects their well-being.” ~Mr. Jason Wilson

“Spend less time trying to be more efficient at things you hate and more time doing things you don’t want to stop.” ~Shane Parrish

“The internet has given us access to a flood of data, outstripping our ability to interpret it. Information is not knowledge.” ~Kpaxs

“I think one of the most important things we could do is try and tell our own story. If you don’t tell it somebody [else] will.” ~Steelo Brim

“God does not want to build barriers around the church; he wants to build bridges to the culture so the gospel can flood into it.” ~Lecrae, Unashamed

“Waiting for the right time to do something you know you need to do is seductive. About 99% of the time, waiting only makes things harder.” ~Shane Parrish

“Asking for help demonstrates trust and helps build bonds of intimacy in friendships. Exposing your human limitations to someone shows that you’re willing to be vulnerable to them.” ~Dr. Julie Hanks

Last Set:

“Later that day I wrote in my journal, ‘I vow from here on out to reveal instead of conceal. I have no control over how people are going to react to the truth. The only thing I can control is whether or not I speak honestly. It’s ultimately not my business to manage anybody else’s emotions.’” ~Gay Hendricks, The Genius Zone

Food For Thought:

“You’ve heard it a million times before: if you want to make a friend, be a friend. That’s true, but I believe there’s more to the old adage. To find your people, you have to be your person. You have to show up as yourself. Your full, true, and whole self. Naked while fully clothed. It’s one of the hardest, most important things to do, and it’s one of the rarest practices in our modern, digitally tethered ago. Why? Because we get this wrong over and over again. We scroll through seas of familiar faces every single day. We send Insta likes and emoji affirmations. We rely on social media to keep us, well, social. And we assume that, if we’re connected 24-7 to nonstop, ever expanding networks, we’ll never run the risk of being lonely. But can I offer you a gentle truth here? The opposite of loneliness isn’t just connection. The opposite of loneliness is being known. It’s a connection with people who you know truly know you.” ~Jenna Kutcher, how are you, Really
