Day 1

Don’t Be Insecure

A lot of times the stuff we think other people are saying about us

Is the stuff were thinking about ourselves.

The stuff we think people will never see in us, nine out of 10 times

They already do!

Day 2

The Bigger Person

It’s hard being responsible and accountable for always doing the right thing.

At times the wrong things feels the best!

But as experience has proved, it’s okay to fall. People often do.

It’s how you get up from being down, that counts.

I believe I stand a little taller after each fall, making me a bigger person.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.

Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Day 3

Deposits And Withdrawals

Your relationships In life should be like a bank account

Don’t make deposits into people you cant get anything out of.

The deposits that God allowed me to make into the lives of the people around me

Comes back in my empty moment’s

And that’s how it should be.

Pay attention to what you hear;

The measure you give, will be the measure you get.

And still even more will be given to you.

Day 4

I’m Still Here!

I’m still depressed

I’m overwhelmed

I’m restless

I’m tired

I’m not focused

I’m lonely

I’m wanting to be alone

I’m grateful

I’m so unhappy

I’m not able to cry

I’m not wanting to cry

I’m broke

I’m surviving

I’m not wanting to go on

I’m not giving up

I’m not a drinker

I’m wanting to drink

I’m not on any drugs

I’m understanding why people use drugs

I’m not a smoker

I’m wanting a cigarette

I’m pretty

I’m feeling so ugly

I’m important in every corner of my life

I’m feeling so useless . . .

But I’m still here!

Day 5

Confidence

I believe in myself and In my dream

I know that anything that is meant for me is real and true!

Everything at this point that appears to be fake and fantasy

Is not of God and Is not for me.

I’m Confident that what I believe In Is Going to be what I Have!

Day 6

Don’t Cheat On You

The same faithful rock solid wife, or girlfriend, you plan to be for your next relationship

Be that for you, right now.

If you practice not cheating on yourself now

You will hold up, and hold out for your mate.

But if can’t do it for you, you wont do it for him.

I promise you.

Day 7

My Poem

I WANNA GROW

I WANNA STAND TALL AS THE TALLEST TREE IN WISDOM, MAKING DESCESIONS THAT PLANT CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF THOSE CLOSE TO ME. AND THOSE SENT TO ME. AS A BLESSING TO GIVE AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO I’LL LIVE AGAIN AND AGAIN IN A DAUGHTERS SPEECH, OR IN WHAT MY SISTERS TEACH, AND WHAT MY BROTHERS MAY PREACH, EACH IN HIS OWN
