If you want to positively impact the world, you don't
need to travel to every corner of it. The real work of making an outwardly difference can be found in that which happens inwardly.
While it's possible to slice a tomato with a dull knife, you'll only make a mess of things. Sharpen your tools (emotional
well-being, belief in positive outcomes, genuine happiness for others' prosperity, unwavering faith amidst adversity, etc.)
before you forge in the name of "making a difference". You can't MAKE a difference without BEING the difference.
Selah.

The "Jedi mind trick" doesn't work in real life. If you truly want to resolve the issues
you have with others (including the ones you’ve initiated), you may want to consider a direct approach. Withdrawing
from someone without telling them why; then getting more upset when they don't chase after you just doesn't make good sense,
dear hearts. The time you take to share your hurt with anyone who will listen can be minimized
by investing that time with the individual(s) who need to hear how you’re feeling. Give it --and them -- a chance. Being
hurt does not condemn you to a life of distress and discord. Ask God to intercede on your behalf. Trust His Spirit to go before
you and set an atmosphere of peace and resolution. Above all else, BELIEVE that you were created to live a life free of strife,
animosity, debilitating envy, depression, tension, feelings of abandonment/neglect, etc. Search your heart…then ask
God to enter and make you whole. Guess what? He will…

Who are you when no one is looking? What are your views
when there is no audience? How do you handle stress when resolution doesn't come quickly? How accepting are you of other's
choices when those choices expose disregard for you? Know who you are, what makes you tick and where your limits are. Some
regrets are totally avoidable. Don't relinquish your self-control b/c you can't control self

Forgiveness is a very beautiful thing. Just the simple act of freeing
someone from a bondage that the enemy used to get to you through them is nothing but God. Be thankful for the opportunity
to see the truth in someone's heart when they humble their spirit before you---relying on the SAME God YOU pray to to make
them whole. No need to recall a thing..just forgive.

Don't just be good to the people who are good to you.
Be good to EVERYONE...the people who aren't good to you NEED to see the goodness in you DEMONSTRATED. If they don't "come
around", YOU'VE LOST NOTHING!! As you rid yourself of strife & discord, joy multiplies, peace resurfaces and love
manifests in unimaginable ways! It's your life - you're worth EVERY effort you put forth to keep it healthy.

Sometimes, ALL you have to give... is yourself. Extend
the best you have because the BEST resides within you. Don't sell yourself cheap, your testimony is valuable and worth EVERY
inch of the journey you walked, crawled or limped to possess it. When money, resources or friends are scarce, the Holy Spirit
that dwells within you is plentious and springs forth to recover and restore!

What are you holding onto? Evaluate it. WEIGH IT! Is
it strife? A grudge? Resentment? How much is it costing you? Can you REALLY afford to keep it? Take a good look around you
- the target of those emotions is probably getting good sleep and living 'happily ever after'. You should too! Call 1-800-RELEASE-IT
before you go emotionally bankrupt. Lines are always open.

When God enlarges your territory, He doesn't do it at
the expense of another one of His precious children - that is PURELY man's selfish and limited logic. He doesn't need to rob
Peter, Paul, your sister, cousin or friend to reward you for your faithfulness. Think about that thing and rejoice FULLY for
the measure He's purposed for you....and someone else

When the sun is shining in your life; don't issue an
APB for rain or cloudy skies. Instead, bask in the sun's glow! Allow its rays to reflect off of you and warm someone else!
You're SUPPOSED to feel good - don't apologize when you do or diminish what you feel to make others 'comfortable'. It is what
it is and you are what you are...BLESSED!

Sometimes you have to make changes to ensure harmony and
peace in your life. When you identify those changes, MAKE THEM! DON'T tether yourself to discord or to people whose actions
don't align with the love they say they have for you. Fewer 'friends' doesn't automatically equate to more enemies...especially
when their actions & the chill in their hearts towards you are just about the same. Hmmm.....
