Every 40 seconds someone in the world dies by suicide and someone is left to make sense of it. When this happens, we blame ourselves, we go through all the “what ifs”, we regret not seeing the signs. If you’ve ever found yourself in that place, please forgive them for what they chose to do and forgive yourself because you couldn’t stop it.

If you see someone fall behind, slow down and walk beside them. If they are being ignored, just include them. If someone has been knocked down, take time to lift them up. You will never know how much it means to them unless you’ve fallen behind, been ignored or knocked down yourself. People need to feel they have value. One small thing to you may mean the world to someone else.

”No matter what you do, someone will always talk about you. Someone will always question your judgment. Someone will always doubt you”. So what do you do about it? Just smile and make choices YOU can live with. Trust yourself a little more. You’ve got this! You know the heart of God and truthfully, He’s the only One you need to please.

Our beliefs don’t make us a better person. Our behavior does. Our behavior should follow our beliefs. If we believe that people are to be kind and we spend our time being UNKIND, something’s wrong. If we believe that prayer changes things but we never take time to pray, nothing changes. Want to be a better person…line up your beliefs and behavior. If we don’t, we’re living a hypocritical life.

  ”If you spend too long holding on to the one who treats you like an OPTION, you’ll miss finding the one who treats you like a PRIORITY.” This is true in every area of our life…romance, friendship, business…you name it. Nobody wants to be #2 if #1 doesn’t work out. Nobody wants to be considered a last resort. Want to know if you’re someone’s priority? Sit with someone who keeps talking on the cell phone while you wait for them to remember you’re there. Trust me…you’re just an OPTION…and they chose their priority when they hit “answer”.

  What does everybody have that nobody else wants? An opinion. Opinions are a dime a dozen…When we have an opinion, it’s amazing how we suddenly think we’re brilliant and have the answers to everybody else’s problems. Kind of a shame that we don’t have the answers to our own. Be careful who you give an opinion to…they may just look at your life, see how you’ve handled it and walk off laughing.
