Remember that all your Decisions have Consequences

Respect other People’s Opinion
You can’t force everyone to think like you. We are all different and unique. We see things according to the lens that we are using. And with that, you can’t expect others to follow you. So instead of trying to convince someone about your idea or perspective, why not try to listen and respect their opinions. Just like you, they also have a story behind the way they perceive things. And it’s deeper than you think. Their thoughts are shaped according to their experiences. So be patient and acknowledge the truth that we all have different views in life. That’s what makes this world diverse yet colorful. Just be rooted…

People who are longing for love will sometimes be tempted to look for it in the wrong person. And because they badly wanted to receive affirmation, they chose to please others just for them to feel validated. But the sad truth is, people can make you feel loved and accepted but not every moment. We are all imperfect, and each of us is carrying thorns that will somehow hurt somebody else. You can never please everyone. You will end up broken and frustrated if you just keep focusing on what other people want you to do. Focus on God, and choose to do the things that please His name. In…
