Slow Down, and Choose to Listen

We feel like being neglected, and we simply don’t exist in their lives.

You exist for a purpose, and you are made to create an impact on other people’s lives. You are not worthless. In fact, you are so valuable in the eyes of God.

Choose to be kind to the people around you because you don’t know what they are going through. Know that you are not just the only one who feels so lost and tired. There are people around you who are also carrying heavy burdens. Always remember the love of God and treat others the way God treated you. There are times when we tend to judge those who commit mistakes and treat them as if they are strangers, but remember that you are also human, and just like them, you are not perfect. Purify your thoughts and just appreciate every kind deeds that you receive from others because you never…
