The best advice I have ever received from people and the Bible is to “mind your own business.” Never get involved in battles that aren’t your responsibility. Never waste time trying to change a fool’s mind. Sometimes just be silent! In these things you will never find yourself wallowing in the pig pen!

There’s a wise saying that goes like this “What you accept in the beginning is what you get in the end.” If you are not happy with your relationships, then you must take a look at what you are allowing in your life. You teach people how to treat you. Teach them to treat youContinue reading “WHAT DO YOU TOLERATE?”

Everyone wants to be accepted, heard and understood. When you speak with love you show you care. When others know you care they will want to hear what you have to say. You must show you care before you can influence or lead others.
