We get angry over inconveniences because we treat them like injustices. Life doesn’t hand out passes from problems. It’s okay to want comfort—just don’t lose compassion chasing it. Small annoyances don’t just test your patience—they grow it.
Work in a Way That Works for You
What works for others might not work for you. You don’t need their formula; you need your own flow. Learn from them, but don’t imitate them. We don’t need a replica—we need you. Work in a way that works for who you really are, not who you wish you were.
When You’re Struggling to Forgive
Forgiveness isn’t letting someone off the hook—it’s putting them in God’s hands. It’s refusing to let their wrong have the last word. It’s choosing not to go back to the way things were, but to set better boundaries as you move forward. Forgiveness may not change their heart, but it will free yours.
When Quitting is a Good Thing
Sometimes quitting is the only way to win. You can’t give your best to everything.Letting go of habits, relationships, or commitments that aren’t working isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Not everything on your calendar should be in your life.
Quitting vs. Giving Up
There’s a difference between giving up and quitting. Giving up is walking away from something that truly matters. Quitting is letting go of something—even a good thing—that keeps you from giving your best to what matters most. Courage helps you run the race.Wisdom helps you know which race to run.
When God Closes a Door
Good things aren’t always a good fit. When something doesn’t work out, it doesn’t always mean something’s wrong with you—or with them. Sometimes God closes a good door to lead you to the right one. Trust His timing. Keep walking.
