Kindness makes you beautiful 💞

U need 2 hold the image u want of urself, in ur mind, so strongly that other ppl see it too. Everything u need is already inside of u. U know what u need 2 do. So look inside and stop seeking it outside

“A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms.”

— Sensei Ogui, Zen Shin Talks (via philosophyquotes)

“Jesus is a lot of wonderful and amazing things, but one thing He is not: He is not made in your image. You are made in His image.”

— Judah Smith

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”

— Oscar Wilde

Your heavenly Father knows you have needs to say that you’re His most prized possession, His treasure. Nothing on the earth is more important to Him than you and in turn His number one priority is to help you live your life believing He loves you enough to keep you free from needing anything but more of Him.

God taught me this through tears, pain, arguments and sleepless nights. Crack open proverbs and you'll discover how to be kind and generous whilst still maintaining your character.

People will take you for a fool if you try to be nice to everyone. In this life you need to learn to put your foot down and be decisive about the things you won't tolerate in your life, regardless of who likes it or not. Trying to be a people pleaser will only leave you drained and taken advantage of. Once you uphold an image of someone of malliable character it's much easier for others to expect certain things from you without having in consideration your integrity and beliefs, to treat you any kind of way they desire and take advantage of your weak demeanor. Trying to people please is peasant behavior, you don't owe such treatment to anyone who doesn't deserve it, don't lower yourself to that. To hell what they think of you, they aren't paying your rent or bills.
