1.Nothing lasts. That’s right. Not even the ache in your heart. Everything is transient in this temporary world. So everything that you’re experiencing will give way to something better. The Almighty has promised us. So put Your trust in Him. He decrees everything, lest you forget.

2.Don’t waste time trying to change people’s perceptions & opinions of you. Most have already made up their minds. Many have preconceived ideas based on what they’ve heard through the grapevine. Keep doing good. Your work is there for everyone to see. The truth will always prevail!

3.Saying yes is a good thing mostly. But learning how to set boundaries & say no when the need calls for it is key to healthy relationships with others & yourself! Saying yes to everyone leads to stress, being overwhelmed & burned out. So listen to your body & don’t feel guilty!

4.Are you worried about being popular & loved by the masses? If you choose to get closer to the Almighty & live a life according to His Plan, you’ll find yourself walking alone mostly. This is the reality. Don’t be afraid. Don’t worry. Let Him take over as your Guide & Protector!

5.Don’t be daunted by the road ahead. Yes, it may seem long. But the Almighty has it all planned for you. You need to start the journey even if it’s with baby steps. You will pick up speed and your pace will quicken as you move along. Distractions aside, we will all get there!

6.Learn to live with criticism. It’s part of life. In this day and age, you’ll face critics at every turn; everywhere you go. Take it in your stride. Don’t stress over it. If it’s constructive criticism, use it to improve yourself. If it’s destructive, ignore it. Let it go!

7.Even when you feel lonely, you’re never really alone. The Almighty is always there for you. You don't have to live your life alone. He promises never to leave nor forsake you. He is ever faithful. Don't trade Him for anything. Make Him your priority. He will never disappoint!

8.Don’t let anyone belittle you. If you’re not careful, you may start believing their demeaning remarks. This can affect your self-esteem. When someone belittles you, it’s a reflection of them, not you! Never allow people who use words so irresponsibly to sabotage your self-image!

9.Are you feeling tired & discouraged? To get out of the rut, you need to change your mindset. Adopt positive thoughts. Believe that the Almighty wants good for you. He will give you strength & power to overcome. Start moving towards Him. Trust the process & feel the difference.

10.Almighty. We ask You for a heart that’s pure; free from grudges, malice & all things evil. Keep compassion alive in us. Help us refrain from judging others as we’ve not walked in their shoes. Keep our hearts at ease; make us pleased with Your Decree. We ask for Your Mercy always.
