When you build your life based on a foundation of lies, hate, bigotry and deception, your collapse will be spectacular.

“It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” ~African proverb

“If you see a crocodile smiling, you better make sure to count all your fingers.” ~ African proverb

Karma has a way of settling every score. The hurt that you inflict through deception, betrayal, lies and disrespect may seem to have been forgotten, but it always returns home and it’s louder, heavier, and impossible to ignore. So travel light.

“Indeed our survival and liberation depend upon our recognition of the truth when it is spoken and lived by the people. If we cannot recognize the truth, then it cannot liberate us from untruth.” ~ Rev. Dr. James H. Cone

There’s a difference between addressing someone’s behavior and attacking who the person is. You can be angry with someone, but you do not have to be cruel by attacking the person’s worth. #OneLove

On our journey through life, it doesn’t matter how deep in the valley we find ourselves, let’s never forget that no condition is permanent. There’s always hope for a better tomorrow. #OneLove

If you’re upset, instead of going off the deep end, explain your anger instead of expressing it, and you will find solutions instead of arguments. #reduceStress #OneLove

A wise one once told me, when the falls, it won’t rain forever. When the sun shines, it won’t shine forever. Life turns like a bicycle. Sometimes we’re down. We’re up. So don’t mock the one who’s struggling today. Don’t let today’s hardships steal tomorrow’s hope. #OneLove

Losing a loved one hurts so much that we shouldn’t expect the hurt to go away quickly. We just have to learn to live with the devastating loss. Over time, we will get to the point where memories of the love one will bring smiles to us.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” ~ George Orwell.
