If you choose to rush and do it your way, it will cost you. Lack of faith in God and yourself, will sometimes lead to pain. You have the power to choose faith over fear, strength over weakness, trust over doubt, truth over lies and understand that when you choose faith, your faith will make you whole.”

“There are no failures in life. Life brings you opportunities with endless possibilities to learn, gain wisdom and understanding...to become courageous and confident in yourself. You learn to widen your perspectives on life. You become more stronger and resilient. You discover your own strengths and turn challenges into stepping stones towards your greatness and growth. Each day you are granted is a gift to turn things around for your own good. However, if you create limits, you will not truly understand that there are no limits in life. As long as you are still breathing and living, learn to let go so you can spread your wings, learn, live and love the life you have been given. Stand taller daily and give yourself the chance to live your best life.”

“Oftentimes, we think we are in control of our lives and journey. Suddenly, we experience the unexpected and we think we are being chastised but instead we are being awakened to see that we were never in control of our lives. We were only walking on grounds that make us comfortable. Without the right thought process, we may choices that lead to consequences which may bring us pain, awaken ego and fear and make us more vain. Reality is that until you find your true self, connect with your spirit and soul (remember you are a spiritual being before the physical/flesh), you will be breaking the shells of your fragile heart, inflicting pain on others and drawing yourself away from the light and truth that you are. The moment you make the decision to find yourself, your life will forever be changed and you will see life in the true meaning of which God created it to be. Your perspective will forever be changed and you will never be the same again”

Hence, the reason why you have to make the choices for choosing yourself...your own happiness, your own healing and your own choices in life.”
