Today Iām 49.
Here are a few things I know so far.
God is much kinder than I once believed.
Talk to God about everything. Especially the things you think you shouldnāt say.
Some of the things I begged God to change ended up changing me in the best possible ways instead.
You can begin again at 10:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., or 11:57 p.m. You donāt need a Monday or a new year.
Strength isnāt always fighting harder. Sometimes strength is finally surrendering.
You donāt have to believe every thought you think.
There are things I once thought would destroy me that became part of what I now teach.
The people you love need your presence more than your perfection.
Donāt wait until youāre less afraid. Courage usually comes after you step forward.
Forgive faster. Apologize faster. Say āI love youā more.
You will outgrow versions of yourself you once worked very hard to become. Let yourself.
Invest in growing your consciousness.
Consciously cultivate your love for the people you love. Work to feel it even more deeply. Love is everything, and itās too precious to ever take for granted.
Donāt postpone joy until youāve succeeded in your goal or figured out whatās next. Every day is a gift. Live with joy always.
Donāt try so hard to control how your story unfolds. Do your part and leave room for God to be God.
My relationship with God is not one part of my life. It is the foundation beneath all of itāthe source, the center, and the relationship from which everything else flows.
