You Won't Be Ok With Me Until You're First Ok With YOU



We see life thru the lens of our own experiences. That being said, you won't be ok with others until you are first ok with yourself. Acclaimed author Anaïs Nin said it best, 'We don't see things as they are we see things as we are'. Ask God to help you examine your past and even your present. Hold on to what needs to be held on to. Let go of what isn't working for you and face & make right what needs to be reconciled. You will never have true peace outside of you until there is true peace within you.

Psalm 119:165 - Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.

Why You May NEVER Be Ok With Staying Where You Are



Some people are ok with mediocrity, and you know what? They're not wrong. It's just where they are and it must be respected. However when God gives you a bigger vision that demands excellence, the only way you would be wrong is if you didn't pursue it. God gave you what you have inside for a reason. Now it's time to let it out. Take the spider for instance. Everything it needs: home, protection, means to eat, and transportation all comes as a result of it utilizing what's inside of it to live. What's inside you? Perhaps you're not living your best life because you haven't let it out. If you're a spider, why stress yourself trying to be a butterfly? Be yourself. YOU are enough and you have what you need inside. Now it's time to get it out!

Proverbs 30:28 - The spider skillfully grasps with it's hands, and it is in kings palaces.
