1.Pleasure and pain. Happiness & sadness. Sunshine and rain. Good days & bad days. This is life. The journey that we’re all on right now. Remember, if you trust the Almighty, there are no sad endings. You’ll reach your destination beautifully. He will see to that!

2.Don’t underestimate the little things you do for others. No matter how small the act, it will come back to you eventually. The appreciation and thank you may be delayed for ages but that’s ok because your reward is truly with the Almighty. So do things out of love, not an obligation!

3.Cultivate a good heart. It takes discipline. It’s hard work. It won’t happen overnight. This is your secret to success in this world & the next. Always have good intentions & learn to be happy for others. Goodwill comes your way and the Almighty will open more doors for you.‬

4.Almighty. Forgive us for all the times when we were facing problems & were so quick to become discouraged or depressed; thinking there was no way out. We forget how You’ve never let us down. No matter what comes our way, we’ll put our trust in You. We know You’ll see us through!

5.Your past is a mirror to your present. Learn from it and aim to not make the same mistakes again. A new chapter awaits you each day when you wake. Aim to be a better person today than you were yesterday. Don’t overlook even small acts of goodness. They do make a difference!

6.Thank the Almighty that He does not judge us by what we achieve. He looks at the effort we put in always. All He wants is that we do it sincerely, with heart & soul to please Him. If our intention is wrong, no matter how much success we achieve, it means nothing to Him!‬

7.It’s easy to think the worst of something. In fact, it comes naturally to many. To think the best requires faith. Especially when things look bleak. That’s the Almighty testing you to see how you’ll respond. Do you crumble and throw in the towel or do you press on and trust Him?

8.We live in an instant society. What you want, you get almost immediately. Instant gratification is key. We are wired that way. But real life’s not like that. Our tests require patience. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Appreciate the journey. The beauty is in the struggle.‬

9.If you want positive change, get out of your comfort zone and start today. Just talking about it isn’t going to make a difference. Change can be daunting; in fact, anything to do with the unknown has that effect. Give it your best shot. Trust the Almighty in your journey! ‬

10.Choose goals that are realistic which can be done on a regular basis. Remember, the Almighty loves acts that are consistent. So start small; work on it instead of trying to do it all at once & then quickly losing steam.

11.People are such that if good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. Such is life in this day & age. That’s why you need to be discerning when sharing aspects of your life! Choose carefully. Not everyone deserves to know everything about you!

12."Everyone's doing it. You're young, have some fun" - the familiar whisperings of Satan. Protect yourself from his tricks. Don’t go down that road. Don’t give in. Stay firm. Keep a level head and exercise self-restraint. Seek your strength from the Almighty.

13.Never mind the haters & their negativity. Focus on doing good & spreading positivity. Haters are insecure & feel insignificant. When they see others improving their life, it’s a direct reflection of what they should be doing but are not. Don’t hate them back. Pray for them.

14.Your tongue can be your greatest asset or biggest liability. The choice is yours. It has only 8 muscles but it can make or break you, creating problems with your words. Constantly ask the Almighty to help you control it & guide its usage. Make it work for you not against you! ‬

15.Don’t be ashamed of the scars you get in life. They are proof of your inner strength. It shows you've lived your life fully; how you picked yourself up when you fell, how you refused to give up, handled defeat & storms. How you rose above it all. That's what matters in the end! ‬
