*#RandomNTBS Weeds are very easy to identify; they're the ones who are always ready to argue in defense of their own ugly character traits: Whether you called them out or not. Tip: If you make a random statement about certain qualities without naming names and someone gets upset about it, (light bulb) it's in the room! These aha! moments can save you valuable time. Try not to miss these.


*RandomNTBS=Random thoughts that "need to be shared"

"It takes nothing from me to acknowledge the gifts and talents of others; therefore I flourish, despite the competition."

Don't tell me how I should be; limits placed by society, You were not there so, you're not aware of what God had in mind when HE made me.

When you look at us, you see the bottom of the food chain. When we look at you, we see you one step away... who are we? - The Homeless #dontjudgeus

In a short while many people whom have looked down upon the disenfranchised are doomed to become one of them. Be careful to acknowledge how quickly your status/station in life can change. Treat everyone with respect.

Many ppl call themselves "real" or "the truth", (myself included), but actually most ppl are only real and truthful in areas of their comfort. Or else why would one become angry when another truth we have yet to acknowledge confronts us?.. #justathought In that regard, it suffices to say there is more than one truth. (Figuratively speaking, of course!)

The purpose of a dialogue is to inform, communicate ideas, and to get an understanding. It is a necessary evil. Some people are better at this than others. The easiest way to circumvent an uncomfortable exchange of words might be:

1. Do not become defensive

2. Do not respond in haste (examine the question acknowledging the character of the person asking)

3. Be brief in your response

4. Use simple language and terms so as not to offend.

Side note: To preface a reply with "no disrespect," or "no offense," is a clear sign that you are about to disrespect or offend someone.


Conclusion: People should not be punished for asking questions no matter how uncomfortable the questions may make you feel. If you are quick to anger, you should examine yourself and identify those truths you are trying to avoid. Even if you refuse to acknowledge this to others, it is good practice to be honest with yourself.

A general question only appears invasive when one fears they have something to hide. A person who is truly liberated (in Christ) is not one who is guarded.

"The apple seed contains the same substance as the apple itself." (Therefore; if you are the seed, you are the apple!)

A doctor does not become a doctor after certification, it is so even from his/her birth... I said that to convey this...Never underestimate the genius within you. It is already present, just "lean into it".

Sometimes darkness is not a choice, but rather part of the process;

not a final destination but part of the journey...

What do you do when all hope is lost?... Turn the lights on, it is in the room. Don't leave your house without it!

"Stress stops immediately after we change our perspective. The hardest part of the battle stems from the way we perceive the things that challenge us."
