1.The truth is most of us have more than we need. We have practically all the basic necessities and more. Sadly, we tend to look at the few things we don't have & become depressed & despondent. Be careful because the Almighty doesn’t like ingratitude. He can take it away. Anytime!

2.Whatever you’re healing from, be patient with yourself. Healing takes time. One minute you feel better, the next minute you’re down again. Expect the highs and lows. Seek your strength from the Almighty. Only He can heal you. Have faith in the process. You’ll emerge stronger!

3.The Almighty knows you’re doing your best. He knows you’re tired. He hears the prayers & sees the tears. He wants you to keep pressing forward. He won’t try you beyond your means. When you least expect it, doors will open, breakthroughs will come. The wait won’t be in vain! Trust Him!

4.Don’t waste time seeking people’s approval. They’re a hard lot to please & whatever you do will never be good enough. There will always be that one person who’s waiting to nitpick. Instead, spend time building your relationship with the Almighty. You’ll never be disappointed!

5.Don’t be among those who constantly feed their material desires while neglecting their souls. Most people focus on material things like houses, jobs, cars, etc forgetting that balance is essential in life if you’re to attain contentment and inner peace. Prioritize what matters!

6.The best life lessons are often learned when you’re broken badly. When you think you’ve hit rock bottom & can’t see a way out. But don’t forget that some of the greatest blessings in life become apparent & come through your most difficult trials. So take heart. Never lose hope!

7.Are you among those who treat others according to your temperament? If you’re happy, then you treat people kindly. And if you happen to be in a bad mood, you treat them any way you please, often in a bad manner. This is ugly behavior. Stay consistent in how you treat others!

8.Almighty. Keep our hearts & minds pure & our paths straight. Help us to be discerning always & not to just conform to whatever life throws at us. May we take what’s good, acceptable & pleasing to You. Give us the strength to control our thoughts & speak what is true & honorable!

9.Don’t fall into the trap of publicizing your sins on social media. Some people think it’s cool. It’s not. Keep your sins private between you and the Almighty. Repent soonest possible. When you show pride in the sin, that’s worrying. You probably won’t be repenting for it too.

10.Be careful. There are many insecure & manipulative people out there who will use & abuse you. If you’ve fallen victim, forgive yourself for the bad decisions you’ve made. Move on with a better mindset. Such people will always exist. Be mindful the next time, with hindsight!
